About this work

Andy Warhol’s Flash Complete Portfolio (FS II.32-42) is a powerful series of 11 screenprints based on mass media imagery surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Created in 1968, the series was originally compiled into a book accompanied by excerpts of newspaper headlines and articles from the time, collectively titled Flash – November 22, 1963. Drawing directly from the public spectacle and media frenzy that followed JFK’s assassination, the series reflects Warhol’s deep fascination with celebrity, tragedy, and the role of mass media in shaping public perception.Warhol had a long-standing interest in the Kennedy family, whose highly publicized lives and political prominence captivated the American public. Prior to Flash, he had produced a series of portraits of Jacqueline Kennedy, drawn from her most iconic and emotional moments following the assassination. He would later go on to portray Edward (Ted) Kennedy, continuing his exploration of the family’s influence and visibility. To Warhol, the Kennedys embodied a new kind of fame—where politics and celebrity merged—a theme he explored extensively throughout his career.Though Warhol depicted other American presidents in later works—including Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan—Flash stands as his most intimate and focused presidential portfolio. In it, Warhol moves beyond portraiture into a more layered and conceptual investigation of a national trauma. The 11 screenprints portray various moments from the assassination and its aftermath: images of JFK, press coverage, Dealey Plaza, and the funeral procession. Four years after his Jackie Kennedy series, Warhol returned to this subject with Flash, this time shifting the focus directly to the slain president.The series delves into themes of desensitization, media saturation, and the often-hidden emotional cost of fame. By repeating and recontextualizing widely circulated images, Warhol draws attention to how tragedy is consumed by the public as media spectacle.Flash 38, a standout work from the series, exemplifies Warhol’s evolving technique during this period. He begins to layer images with increasing complexity, using overlays and graphic abstraction to create emotional tension and visual depth. In doing so, Warhol critiques how mass media distills complex human experiences into simplified, consumable images. This layered approach to JFK’s death acts both as memorial and commentary—acknowledging the impact of the event while also confronting the way it was delivered to the public.Viewed within the broader context of Warhol’s oeuvre, the Flash portfolio (FS II.32-42) is not only a continuation of his interest in media and celebrity but also a pivotal work that grapples with collective memory, mortality, and the transformation of personal tragedy into public narrative. It is one of Warhol’s most conceptually ambitious and emotionally resonant political bodies of work.For more information on Flash Complete Portfolio (FS II.32-42) or to buy Flash Complete Portfolio (FS II.32-42) contact our galleries using the form below.

About Andy Warhol

Our inventory spans screenprints, silkscreens, and unique works across his most collected series: Marilyn Monroe, Campbell's Soup, Mao, Flowers, Myths, Ads, Cowboys and Indians, Dollar Signs, Cars, and Reigning Queens — all with full provenance and Feldman & Schellmann catalogue raisonné references. We also acquire Warhol. Contact our team for a free valuation.

Andy Warhol (1928–1987) is the defining figure of American Pop Art and the most commercially traded artist of the twentieth century. Born Andrew Warhola in Pittsburgh to Slovak immigrant parents, he rose from commercial illustrator to the architect of a cultural movement that permanently dissolved the boundary between fine art and mass media. His Manhattan studio, The Factory, became the epicentre of New York art and celebrity culture from the early 1960s until his death in February 1987.

Andy Warhol Art For Sale

Andy Warhol art for sale spans an extraordinary range of subjects, media, and price points — from intimate drawings and unique canvas paintings to large signed editions. His signature subjects include Campbell's Soup Cans, Marilyn Monroe, Mao Zedong, Dollar Signs, Flowers, Reigning Queens, Cowboys and Indians, the Ads portfolio, and the late Cars and Endangered Species series. Each body of work reflects his obsessive engagement with repetition, celebrity, and commodity culture.

The market benchmark for Warhol was set in May 2022 when Shot Sage Blue Marilyn (1964) sold at Christie's New York for $195 million — the highest price ever achieved at auction for an American artwork. Recent print sales confirm sustained institutional demand: Mao editions achieved $4,648,000 each at Christie's in May 2025; Flowers editions achieved $4,076,000 and $3,832,000 at Sotheby's in the same season.

Andy Warhol Paintings For Sale

Andy Warhol paintings for sale — unique acrylics and silkscreens on canvas — represent the rarest and most valuable tier of his output. Subjects produced in multiple unique variations include Flowers, Skulls, Shadows, Dollar Signs, and the late Oxidation Paintings. The Rorschach series (1984) and Camouflage works appeal strongly to institutional collectors. Abstract Expressionism paintings from the late 1970s and early 1980s remain undervalued relative to his iconic print series and represent a compelling collecting opportunity.

Andy Warhol paintings require substantial documentation: exhibition history, gallery receipts, and provenance tracing to The Factory or first-generation dealers. Prices range from mid-five figures for works on paper to eight figures for major canvas paintings. Our team can advise on current pricing and condition assessment across all painting categories.

Andy Warhol Prints For Sale

Warhol's screenprints represent the most accessible and widely collected segment of his output. Andy Warhol prints for sale range from early unsigned offset lithographs to hand-signed, numbered editions produced with Castelli Graphics, Factory Editions, and Ronald Feldman Fine Arts. Signed, numbered editions from key series — Marilyn Monroe (1967), Flowers (1970), Mao (1972), Ads (1985), Endangered Species (1983), Cowboys and Indians (1986), and Reigning Queens (1985) — command the strongest collector demand and the deepest secondary market liquidity.

Condition, provenance, and edition size are the critical variables. Works printed on Lenox Museum Board or high-grade rag paper with consistent registration and original colouration are the most desirable. Fading, foxing, or retouching materially affects value.

Andy Warhol Cars Prints For Sale

The Cars portfolio (F.S. II.356–362), produced in 1985 as a commission from Mercedes-Benz to mark the centenary of the automobile, stands among the most refined of Warhol's late print series. Ten screenprints on Lenox Museum Board render historic Mercedes-Benz models in Warhol's characteristic flat colour and photographic silkscreen technique — his iconic commercial sensibility applied to the history of industrial design. Signed and numbered in editions of 100, with separate artist's proofs, the Cars series regularly achieves $25,000–$75,000 per impression and commands significant premiums when offered as complete portfolios.

Andy Warhol Late Paintings and Works on Paper

Warhol's production in the final decade of his life — broadly 1978 to 1987 — encompasses some of his most conceptually ambitious work. The Knives series (1981–82), Guns series (1981–82), and Crosses (1981–82) form a trilogy of loaded American objects rendered in the same neutral Pop vocabulary he had applied to Soup Cans twenty years earlier. The Boots and Dollar Bills paintings sit alongside late unique canvases from the Camouflage series (1986–87) and the haunting Last Supper paintings completed weeks before his death. Works from this period are systematically underrepresented in collector awareness relative to their importance to the broader catalogue and represent genuine long-term collecting opportunities.

Andy Warhol Self Portrait Prints For Sale

Andy Warhol self portrait prints are among the most sought-after works in his catalogue — a subject he returned to from 1966 to 1986. The most collected examples include:

  • Self Portrait F.S. II.7 (1966) — the iconic fist-to-chin composition in vivid Pop colourways
  • Self Portrait F.S. II.12–22 (1978) — nine large-format prints; auction results regularly $80,000–$250,000
  • Self Portrait with Fright Wig (1986) — produced a year before his death; widely regarded as his definitive late statement
  • Camouflage Self Portrait F.S. II.316 (1986) — the artist dissolved into his own imagery

Self portrait prices range from $18,000 for early unsigned screenprints to $400,000+ for the 1978 and 1986 signed works in excellent condition. Authentication requires reference to the Feldman & Schellmann catalogue raisonné and, where applicable, a former Andy Warhol Art Authentication Board certificate.
