About this work

Flowers FS. II 71 by Andy Warhol is a screen print included in his super famous Flowers series from 1970. Warhol originally painted the flowers in 1964, and published the portfolio six years later. Among the complete portfolio, Flowers 71 displays Andy Warhol’s appreciation for beauty, both natural, yet stylistically synthetic. The original source image for the hibiscus flowers was found in the June 1964 issue of Modern Photography. However, the use of the copyrighted photo resulted in legal trouble for Warhol. Photographer Patricia Caulfield sued him in 1966 for appropriating her photographs for the series. Using images from external sources was not new to Warhol, and had brought him great success. But, the threat of the lawsuit nudged Warhol to begin experimenting with his own photography as source material for his silkscreen prints, albeit out of necessity. After suffering a gunshot wound from Valeria Solanas in 1968, Warhol acquired a new perspective toward his surroundings. The shock of his near-death experience had a dissociative effect on him. “Before I was shot, I always thought that I was more half-there than all-there—I always suspected that I was watching TV instead of living life… Right when I was being shot and ever since, I knew that I was watching television. The channels switch, but it’s all television.” The flower was a perfect subject to return to. It counteracted the violence he experienced, as well as the morbid imagery from his Death and Disaster works. The publication of the Flowers portfolio in 1971 would be the beginning of a shift toward less controversial prints in Warhol’s catalogue.Portfolios such as Electric Chair and Skulls evoke death, and suggest Warhol’s ruminating on the human condition. At the same time, prints that depict lively themes began to proliferate through Warhol’s catalogue in the 70’s. Flowers seems to focus on a universal symbol of beauty, happiness, and peace. The essence of beauty derived from—and then altered from—nature is a common theme in Warhol’s works. Examples of these alluring alterations can be seen in portfolios such as Space Fruit, Sunset, and Grapes. In Flowers FS. II 71, the juxtaposition of colors breaks the beautiful monotony of the hibiscus. Isolating different colors in this way allows for distinguished features to emerge. For example, the idea of the isolated beauty in The Philosophy of Andy Warhol, goes as such: “Sometimes something can look beautiful just because it’s different in some way from the other things around it. One red petunia in a window box will look very beautiful if all the rest of them are white, and vice-versa.” In Flowers 71, the two top flowers oppose the yellow hibiscus duo, giving them prominence in the print.Flowers FS. II 71 doesn’t seem to be liable to decay, yet attains a hauntingly fragile glow. The permanence of the print’s saturating hue remains imprinted in the eye of the viewer. The same can be said about the coloration of works such as Flowers 68, Liz Taylor, and Mao 98. The timeless beauty encapsulated in the Flowers portfolio is guaranteed to never lose its aura.For more information on Andy Warhol's Flowers FS. II 71 or to buy Flowers FS.

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.
