Lot 215

Description

Andy Warhol,
American 1928-1987,

Beethoven (F. and S. 392), 1987;

screenprint in colours, on Lenox Museum board,
signed in pencil on the reverse by the Executor of the Estate of Andy Warhol, Fred Hughes, the publisher Herman Wuensche, printer Rupert Jasen-Smith and numbered 37/60 on the stamped certificate on the reverse, 
sheet: 101.8 x 102 cm,
(framed)

Provenance: Uk Private Collection and before this Puccio Fine Art, New York 

Note: this work was created the year of Warhol's death, and as such is signed by the Executor of his Estate. The print is interlaced with the score of the Moonlight Sonata, Beethoven's most acclaimed composition. The work reflects Warhol's fascination with the cult of genius. The fact that this is one of Warhol's most colourful and dynamic prints ensures its legacy of bringing two genius figures together in their respective fields, Beethoven for music and Warhol for art.
