ARTIST: ANDY WARHOL (1930-1987) SIZE: 45 1/4 x 30 in./115 x 76.2 cm DESCRIPTION: "Pretty as a pigture, huh?" In 1968, RCA came up with a novel piece of technology: a device that could scan camera film for printing. Warhol immediately saw the implications: the traditional processes of the graphic artist and lithograph designer would become obsolete, since one could lift an image directly from film to poster. Since Warhol's own art involved messing about with photos, he must have looked at RCA's invention with a wry sense of humor. So the poster he created is a multilayered joke: a live pig is painted as a piggy-bank, photographed, and scanned, with all the fine detail of fur reproduced perfectly. Warhol then went one step further. As Warhol painted the pig at RCA's ad agency J. Walter Thompson, Irwin Horowitz photographed it. Andy's entire team from the Factory was there. Warhol then negotiated the film rights to the work, seizing back the means of production in a move both artistically and professionally savvy. If any of our readers have a copy of it, please call us.
