Elvis

In 1963 Andy Warhol moved into a new studio in New York City that he called "The Factory". This is the place where many of his most famous works were created, including "Elvis". With Andy Warhol's fixation for glitter/glamour, style, famous personalities and fashion, Elvis Presley was a more than a fitting motif for his work. Warhol used a picture of Elvis from the film "Flaming Star" as the starting point for the iconic painting. Years of partnership between Rosenthal and Andy Warhol Foundantion as well as the avant-garde inheritance of the Rosenthal Studio-line live on in this impressive series.
