Photo by Andy Warhol in 1985

Cologne Cathedral by Andy Warhol

The Cologne Cathedral is one of the most famous and iconic buildings in Germany, with its impressive Gothic architecture and intricate details.  In 1985, renowned American artist Andy Warhol created a series of silkscreen prints of the cathedral, which have become some of his most famous works.  The Cologne Cathedral series by Andy Warhol is a unique interpretation of the iconic landmark, combining his signature pop art style with traditional religious imagery.

Warhol was known for his ability to take everyday objects and transform them into works of art.  In the Cologne Cathedral series, he applied this same approach to the grand cathedral, creating a new perspective on the building. The series consists of eight individual prints, each depicting a different view of the cathedral.  The prints are bold and vibrant, featuring bright colors and sharp lines. They capture the grandeur of the cathedral while also giving it a contemporary twist.

One of the most striking aspects of the Cologne Cathedral series is the use of color.  Warhol used bright, bold colors to create a sense of energy and vibrancy in the prints.  The colors he chose are not necessarily realistic, but rather they serve to convey a feeling or emotion.  The colors used in the series range from vivid reds and blues to soft pinks and yellows, creating a dynamic and captivating visual experience.

Another interesting aspect of the Cologne Cathedral series is the use of repetition.  Warhol was known for his use of repetition in his artwork, and this series is no exception.  Each print in the series features multiple images of the cathedral, layered on top of one another.  This repetition serves to emphasize the grandeur of the building, while also adding a sense of depth and complexity to the images.

Warhol's use of traditional religious imagery in the Cologne Cathedral series is also noteworthy.  While Warhol was not known for creating explicitly religious works, the cathedral prints incorporate traditional religious imagery, such as the cross and the dove.  These symbols serve to connect the modern pop art style of the prints with the traditional religious significance of the cathedral.

Overall, the Cologne Cathedral series by Andy Warhol is a unique and captivating interpretation of one of Germany's most iconic landmarks.  The bold colors, use of repetition, and incorporation of traditional religious imagery create a series of prints that are both visually stunning and thought-provoking.  Warhol's ability to transform the everyday into the extraordinary is on full display in this series.

Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol was one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, known for his iconic pop art style and innovative use of mass production techniques.  He was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1928 and studied art and design at Carnegie Mellon University before moving to New York City in the 1950s.

In the 1960s, Warhol began experimenting with screen printing techniques, which allowed him to produce multiple copies of the same image quickly and efficiently.  This technique became a hallmark of his work, and he used it to create some of his most famous pieces, including the Campbell's Soup Cans and Marilyn Monroe portraits.

Warhol's art was a commentary on popular culture, and he was interested in exploring the relationship between consumerism, celebrity, and art.  He frequently used images from popular culture, such as Coca-Cola bottles and Brillo boxes, in his artwork, and he often depicted celebrities and public figures in his portraits.

Throughout his career, Warhol was also interested in exploring the relationship between art and technology.  He was one of the first artists to use computers in his artwork, and he frequently experimented with new technologies and techniques to create his art.

The Cologne Cathedral series by Andy Warhol is a unique example of his ability to combine traditional religious imagery with his pop art style.  Although Warhol was not known for creating explicitly religious works, he frequently used religious symbolism in his art, often as a commentary on consumerism and mass culture.

Warhol's legacy continues to influence contemporary art today, and his innovative use of mass production techniques and interest in technology have paved the way for many artists working in a variety of media.  His work remains popular and highly sought after by collectors and art enthusiasts alike.

Canvas material:

We use artist grade cotton/polyester canvas materials that are acid-free, specifically 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton. Polyester is used in order to preserve the durability, elasticity, and low cost of our products, yet still maintaining the natural, breathable qualities that cotton provides. Our acrylic coating further protects our canvas from damage and staining, keeping the canvas as low-maintenance as possible. Our final finish provides a Matte/Natural White look in order to maintain the neutrality of the base, so that our photos will look their best as they are stretched over the frame.

  • Composition: 35% cotton, 65% polyester
  • Finish: Matte / Natural White
  • Texture: Medium

Our canvas prints are slightly more heavyweight for a quality feel, but it is much lighter than a standard framed painting and less likely to cause damage to the wall. With a medium weight of 320 grams per square meter (GSM) or 9.5 ounces per yard squared (OSY), our canvas is made to be just sturdy enough while still keeping the material light and flexible. There are 470 microns which measures the diameter of the fibers, making it about 7 times thicker than the average human hair! This thickness gives our canvas the durability it needs as well as the unique texture that accompanies canvas.

Hanging hardware comes installed on each canvas wrap we fabricate. The type of hanger depends on the size of the art-piece. It may be a sawtooth hanger or a pre-installed cable bracket system for larger canvas wraps (see images below).

If you have chosen the finished back on your traditional canvas, we will cover the back of your canvas with a white dust cover. Installation is as easy as placing 1 or 2 screws/nails into the wall and then laying the cable or hanger over them. Lastly, tilt the canvas wrap until it is level.
