Lot 270 - ANDY WARHOL 1928 - 1987 MOONWALK (SEE F. & S. IIB.404-405) Silkscreen print, 1987 Signature printed and inscribed 'TP 47/66' in pencil, this is a Trial Proof in addition to the numbered edition of 160 plus 31 artist's proofs. Signed in pencil on verso by Estate Andy Warhol executor Frederick Hughes, printer Rupert Jasen Smith and publisher Ronald Feldman, on Lenox Museum Board paper, with printer's and publisher's drystamps. Sheet size 96.3 x 96.3 cms Framed Provenance: Private collection Bretagne, France Warhol's Moonwalk prints are among the last works the artist created before his death in February 1987. Conceived as part of a portfolio entitled TV, which depicts important images from the history of television in America and includes such subjects as I Love Lucy, Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream", and the Beatles' first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, Moonwalk was the only composition in the series to be printed. Although the portfolio focuses on the influence of television, the photographic basis of the work is not a live image of the first moments on the moon, but rather an image that never appeared on television. Warhol combined two separate photographs of Buzz Aldrin and the American flag, both NASA photos taken by Neil Armstrong, to create the silkscreen. The resulting composition is an iconic element of Warhol's printmaking, illustrating not only the lasting impact of the moon landing, but also the artist's profound effect on American visual culture.
