From The Wonderful World of Fleming-Joffe, Sequin Serpent, 1960
Photo lithographed illustration with leather appliqué
20 x 13 3/4 in 50.8 x 34.9 cm
This striking work from the early period of Warhol's career showcases a serpent adorned with sequins, created through an innovative combination of photo lithography and leather appliqué. The piece demonstrates Warhol's fascination with commercial art techniques and luxurious materials, blending printmaking with tactile embellishments. The serpent motif winds across the composition with decorative flair, reflecting the artist's background in fashion illustration and advertising. The integration of leather and sequined details creates a dimensional quality that distinguishes this work from traditional prints. Created in 1960, this piece represents a pivotal moment just before Warhol's transition into Pop Art icon status. Part of the rare Fleming-Joffe series, it exemplifies his experimental approach to materials and his ability to blur boundaries between fine and commercial art. The work's intimate scale and unique mixed-media technique make it an exceptional example of Warhol's early artistic development, offering collectors insight into the creative foundation that would define his legendary career.
