Warhol made black Pop. Rid of feeling, full of the machine. Warhol’s black was different from the cavernous blacks of Caravaggio; it was commercial, it was flat and easily reproducible. Warhol’s black and white images have proved to be just as impactful and memorable as ones featuring his vivid color palette. Warhol’s Shoes (lots 45, 46) and Marilyn series feature the artist’s use of black through photographic overlay, creating bold, lustful prints that dazzle.
