Warhol, Andy, Signed Original Screenprint

The Committee 2000 was an organization which worked on projects to commemorate the year 2000.  Plans were started in the early 1980s and Andy Warhol created this work to help raise funds on their behalf.  It is a fun and whimsical piece with a celebratory undertone.  Anticipating the millennia festivities, Warhol has included a depiction of horns, party hats, and confetti, arranged in a geometric pattern; the entire composition resonates a mechanical quality, highlighted with bright pink outlines, hues of yellow, teal, blue, and purple.

Created in 1982, this work is hand signed by Andy Warhol (1928 – 1987) in pencil in the lower right.  Printed by Rupert Jasen Smith, New York on Lenox Museum Board out of the total edition of 2,000 (aside from 200 AP, 25 PP, 50 HC, and 5 TP) and numbered 990/2000 in pencil in the lower right.  Published by Committee 2000, Munich, Germany, the piece has been stamped on the verso in red ink: ‘© Andy Warhol 1982.’
