A 1971 screenprint by Andy Warhol. Hand signed and dated and numbered on verso by the artist. The work is in excellent condition and includes a Certificate of Authenticity.

The series created much controversy, as it focused on the gruesome imagery of suicides and plane crashes. The first set of chairs caused somewhat of a societal uproar, as they were created the same year New York’s Sing Sing State Penitentiary performed its last execution by electric chair. Warhol wanted the Death and Disaster series to be a commentary on society’s ability to numb themselves from tragedy that occurs so regularly.
