Ivan Karp, renowned pop art dealer of the 1960s, inspired Warhol's Cow works after a flippant conversation about Warhol's subject matter. As Warhol recollected, “another time he said, ‘Why don't you paint some cows, they're so wonderfully pastoral and such a durable image in the history of the arts.’” Under Karp's influence, Warhol inserted his unnaturally coloured cows into this art historical lineage.
Between 1966 and 1976, Warhol created the Cow series with the color schemes: Pink Cow on Yellow Background (1966), Brown Cow with Blue Background (1971), Yellow Cow on Blue Background (1971) and finally Pink Cow on Purple Background (1976). This print in particular was originally published in 1971 during the last days of an Andy Warhol Exhibition at the Whitney Museum. The Cow series showcases one of Andy Warhol’s most recognizable images.Shipping is complimentary in the US and 100% satisfaction is guaranteed.
