Andy Warhol’s Camouflage portfolio was the last body of work Warhol created before his passing in 1987. The series centers on different variations of a camouflage print that was based on military clothing his assistant Jay Shriver picked up from an army surplus store in New York City. Camouflage FS II.406 sticks closest to a standard military camouflage print with its different shades of green. Abstract shapes interact with each other in random twists and turns. Since Warhol chose to focus on extreme close-ups of the print, the work takes on a graphic element and takes the print out of its context, allowing the viewer to instead focus on its shapes and colors.

Created in 1987, Andy Warhol Camouflage, FS II.406 is a screenprint on Lenox Museum Board. This work is hand-signed by Andy Warhol (Pittsburgh, 1928 - New York, 1987) in pencil on verso. Numbered from the edition of 80.

This print is one of eight screenprints in Warhol’s Camouflage portfolio, created in 1987. The other prints in the series include Camouflage FS II.407, Camouflage FS II.408, Camouflage FS II.409, Camouflage FS II.410, Camouflage FS II.411, Camouflage FS II.411, Camouflage FS II.412, and Camouflage FS II.413.
