Andy Warhol: Skateboard Triptych Car Crash
Andy Warhol: Skateboard Triptych Car Crash
US$500.00
Warhol spoke of replicating images to empty them of their meanings. His _Death and Disaster_ series-began with his famed portraits of Marilyn Monroe-attempts the same trick with macabre yet everyday images like electric chairs, funerals and car crashes. Commenting on the fragility of life, Warhol said, "Isn't life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?" Here, his work_Disaster #2_ has been interpreted as a skateboard deck triptych in a limited edition of 5000. Hanging wall mounts included.
The Skateroom is a platform for promoting, selling and producing art on skateboards that supports youth-empowerment and development. Proceeds from this project will benefit Skateistan, an award-winning, international NGO with projects in Afghanistan, Cambodia and South Africa. Skateistan is the first international development initiative to combine skateboarding with educational outcomes.
