When I took up silkscreening, it was to more fully exploit the preconceived image through commercial techniques of multiple reproduction. Printmaking was a vital artistic practice for Andy Warhol. Prints figure prominently throughout his career from his earliest work as a commercial illustrator in the 1950s, to the collaborative silkscreens made in the Factory during the 1960s and the commissioned portfolios of his final years. In their fascination with popular culture and provocative subverting of the difference between original and copy, Warhols prints are recognized now as a prescient forerunner of todays hypersophisticated, hyper-saturated and hyper-accelerated visual culture.
