Still Life with Liz

THE FLOWER POPwer

Wesselmann, Tom

Offset Litograph

32 x 32 cm

In this work by Tom Wesselmann called Still Life with Liz,
he is taking Andy Warhol’s Liz Taylor and placing her in his
painting as nothing more than an object in a room. He is
creating a familiar and recognisable environment, where you
can imagine walking into a house and seeing a console table
with a vase next to a painting.
By using Warhol’s Liz Taylor, Wesselmann not only affirms
Andy Warhol’s place in art history as a pop artist, but also
uses Warhol’s iconic pop art image as an everyday object,
solidifying Andy Warhol’s artwork as a work of art.
