Description: "While the Flowers today seem emblematic of Warhol iconography, they were at the time of inception a notable departure from the images of commercialism (Campbell’s Soup) or celebrity (Marilyn Monroe) for which the artist was becoming known. The composition originated as a photograph of hibiscus blossoms published in the 1964 issue of Modern Photography. Cropped, infused with startling colors defying those traditionally seen in nature and silkscreened repetitively first on canvases of varying size and then on paper, the Flowers took root as an enduring part of the Warhol oeuvre. The photographer Patricia Caulfield, upon discovering this unauthorized use of her image, sued Warhol in 1966, but one can only imagine Warhol’s delight in the matter. What could be a better instance of celebrating the banal than turning appropriation of a simplistic magazine photo into a lawsuit?" This screenprint in colors on museum board after the original is stamped with "published by Sunday B. Morning" and "fill in your own signature" on the verso. From the Sunday B. Morning edition Published in Switzerland.
