Meaning & Analysis

In 1972, the architects Johnson & Burgee commissioned Andy Warhol to create a Sunset series for their new Hotel Marquette in Minneapolis, Minnesota. As a result, Warhol produced 632 screen prints for the series sunset. His Sunset was signed, stamped, and numbered alongside the rest of the series when it was removed from the hotel in 1982. Largely considered one of his most expressive series, Sunset has become one of Warhol’s most desirable works.

Each sunset image was produced using just three screens. While the portfolio consists of 632 individual prints, each features a unique colour combination. Warhol applied his own photographs of sunsets taken on Long Island and in San Francisco to create the abstracted sunset series. This early use of his own photography prefigures his famous examples in his Mick Jagger and Muhammed Ali series.
