Andy Warhol | Sitting Bull | Authenticated by Andy Warhol Estate - $42,500 - (Los Angeles, CA)

Warhol’s portfolio Cowboys and Indians presents a popular and romantic version of the American West. Eschewing all pretexts to realism or historical accuracy, Warhol instead chose to focus on common objects and cinematic representations that contributed to the popular iconography of the frontier narrative. Cowboys and Indians has quickly become one of the more popular Warhol portfolios in recent years. Sitting Bull A70 is part of Andy Warhol’s Cowboys and Indians series. The print is based on an archival photo of the Sioux Chief. His stoic pose and placid facial expression makes it seem that he is posing for a photograph, rather than an image of him in action hunting or in combat. The vivid coloring of Sitting Bull’s face and the light highlights that outline his shape give the traditional subject a modern twist.Print sold with no frame. Plexibox frame add $850.
