Andy Warhol/Ads. Lithograph illustrating James Dean, published by "Carnegie Museum of Art" around 1986. Stamped on the back "CMOA" and n°/2400 ex. Rare. TBE one corner folded. 60 X 60 cm. This image of the world famous actor is taken from the poster of the movie "Rebel without a cause". Commissioned in 1985 by Feldman Fine Arts, the "Ads" series takes common yet iconic advertisements and elevates the marketed product to the level of art. Viewed as a whole, the series exhibits the defining characteristics of 1980s American culture - confident and consumer-driven.
