Andy Warhol Cooking Pot, 1962 marks the beginning of Warhol's unique consumerism-informed style that would influence the contemporary art world forever. The unassuming simplicity of the print, featuring an ad for a 77 cent cooking pot, belies the groundbreaking idea it represents: equating the mass-media ads and commercial images with the grandeur of fine art. This charming work, one of the very first of Warhol's ventures into printmaking, is as fascinating for its time-capsule shot of the quaint 60's advertisement style as it is for its power as the birth of Warhol's now ubiquitous pop art style.

Created in 1962, this photoengraving on Rives BFK paper is embossed with the signature of Andy Warhol (Pennsylvania, 1928 - New York, 1987) and numbered from the edition of 60 in pencil in the lower right; aside from the edition of 25 numbered in Roman numerals. Printed by Atelier Georges Leblanc, Paris. Published by Galleria Schwarz, Milan.
