About the Artist

Andy Warhol (1928–1987) was the leading figure of Pop Art and one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Beginning his career as a commercial illustrator, Warhol transformed everyday imagery—celebrities, consumer goods, and advertising—into icons of modern art. His embrace of silkscreen printing elevated the medium, making his graphic portfolios central to his practice and legacy.
From the bold Mick Jagger portraits to cultural reflections like Ads, Myths, and Cowboys and Indians, Warhol’s prints capture the energy of postwar America with striking color and immediacy. Today, his works are held in every major museum collection and remain highly sought-after by collectors worldwide. Warhol’s prints continue to embody the glamour, wit, and cultural sharpness that defined his vision, and they still resonate powerfully today.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included with my purchase?

Your artwork comes with a Certificate of Authenticity (or Letter of Authenticity), professional packaging, and insured delivery.

How is the artwork shipped?

We ship fully insured, using trusted carriers. Each piece is professionally packed to ensure safe arrival. Shipping times vary based on the location of the art, its destination, and whether or not it is framed (ready to ship) at the time of your purchase.

Do you frame the artwork?

All our works come beautifully framed. Some print multiples may have framing options if we have unframed editions available in our warehouse. Our in-house framing provides high-quality moulding, acid-free materials and either UV plexiglass or framer’s grade acrylic. High value works may be framed in custom, closed-corner frames, and are often framed in Optium museum glass for enhanced clarity.

Does Martin Lawrence Galleries provide Appraisal Services?

No, Martin Lawrence Galleries does not provide appraisal services. To ensure that appraisals are fully independent and unbiased, it is best practice for them to be carried out by certified appraisers who have not had prior involvement with the sale or handling of the artwork. For that reason, we do not appraise artworks that we handle, and instead recommend that collectors seek an independent, certified appraiser.
