Andy Warhol - Signed, dated & Numbered - Electric Chair II.79 - 1971 - Screenprint on paper ** Signed and dated 71 in pencil lower left on verso ** Numbered with a rubber stamp on verso. From an edition of 250 ** Copyright stamp Factory Additions Edition Bischofberger Zurich on verso *** Andy Warhols Electric Chair series remains one of the most haunting and politically charged bodies of work in his oeuvre. Created in 1971, Electric Chair II.79 is part of Warhols Death and Disaster series, confronting themes of mortality, violence, and state power *** The work is professionally framed to museum standards, in a bespoke wooden frame, handmade in The Netherlands, with Plexiglas® Optical HC, offering UV protection, scratch resistance, and minimal reflection. Size framed : approx. 100 x 130 cm *** This particular version executed in a striking brown and blue palette is widely regarded as the most desirable color variant among the ten in the edition, due to its stark emotional intensity and graphic impact. *** The image depicts an empty electric chair set in a bleak, institutional room a ghostly stage awaiting an unseen subject. Warhol transforms this chilling scene through his iconic silkscreen process, heightening its emotional detachment while underscoring the banality of state-sanctioned violence. The choice of blue and brown tones lends the work a melancholic, almost meditative quality that sharply contrasts with its underlying horror *** This screenprint is signed and dated in ballpoint pen by Andy Warhol and bears the edition number stamped on the reverse. Published by Bruno Bischofberger and printed by Silkprint Kettner, both based in Zurich, this work is a quintessential example of Warhols ability to transform documentary imagery into powerful contemporary iconography *** Electric Chair II.79 is officially listed in the catalogue raisonné Andy Warhol Prints: A Catalogue Raisonné 1962 1987 by Feldman & Schellmann, under the reference II.79 ***** FINANCE LEASE AND RENTAL options are available in Switzerland, offering collectors and institutions aflexible and accessible opportunityto enjoy this masterpiece with tailored financial solutions *** In addition,handmade framingoptions are available to enhance the artworks presentation and preservation, ensuring it remains a timeless showpiece in any collection ***WORLDWIDE DELIVERYis also offered, providing a seamless acquisition process for international buyers ***** For further details regardingpricing, authentication, handmade framing, and global delivery options,pleaseCONTACT US today *** CONDITION : in very good condition ***.
