In 1983, the Brooklyn Centennial Commission hired Andy Warhol to create an image to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Brooklyn Bridge. The multi-color screenprint demonstrates his signature color-block technique with multiple layered bridge images to create the three-dimensional aesthetic of Warhol Brooklyn Bridge.
The Crown Heights colorway features a soft teal and mauve blend alongside cream color blocks, allowing the bright peachy orange bridges to pop off the matte silver Mylar substrate. It is soothing and energetic, just like Brooklyn itself.
Andy Warhol was a leading figure in the pop art movement of the 1960s and is considered one of the most important artists of the late 20th Century. The Andy Warhol x Flavor Paper Collection represents our interpretations of Warhol's work—some iconic and others handpicked from deep in the artist's archives—released in a globally exclusive partnership with the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, which has been ongoing since 2013.
