From The Wonderful World of Fleming-Joffe, Cobra, 1960
Photo lithographed illustration with leather appliqué
20 x 13 3/4 in 50.8 x 34.9 cm
This rare early work depicts a coiled cobra rendered in Warhol's distinctive commercial art style from his pre-Pop Art period. The image combines photo lithography with an innovative application of leather appliqué, creating a striking textural contrast between the printed surface and the three-dimensional leather elements. The cobra's sinuous form dominates the composition with bold graphic clarity, showcasing Warhol's mastery of line and his ability to transform commercial illustration techniques into compelling fine art. Created for the Fleming-Joffe advertising agency series, this piece represents a pivotal moment in Warhol's evolution from successful commercial illustrator to fine artist. Works from this transitional period are exceptionally scarce and highly sought after by collectors, offering insight into the development of his revolutionary Pop Art aesthetic. The unusual mixed-media approach demonstrates his experimental spirit and willingness to push beyond conventional printmaking boundaries. Available for purchase — enquire for price and availability.
