The thing is, some of Warhol's work, like this San Francisco Silverspot from the Endangered Species series, are really quite beautiful. We had this at the gallery forever, and I never understand why people would buy the Dracula, or even the Paramount or Mobil Gas, all which are highly sought after, when they could have this glorious creation on their wall.

  1. I have a book of Warhol's prints of endangered mammals which I love. I shared it with some students at the private high school and they were crazy about it. We did a project making prints of endangered animals and plants.

  2. Although I love the butterfly, the frog from the series is my favorite. Or maybe the eagle, it was actually a remarkable suite of images and color.

  3. Guess what? I chased a Monarch Butterfly in my yard about an hour ago! ~Crikey
