Chanel (set of 4 works), 1997

Description
Warhol's Ads portfolio was inspired by popular advertising campaigns and logos in contemporary American culture The advertisements Warhol chose for this portfolio were not simply a means to sell products; they had become an integral part of American life and culture, featuring memorable and household-name products and celebrities. More than three decades on, the Ads portfolio illustrates how prescient Warhol was about success and longevity in corporate America.

The Chanel No. 5 perfume bottle stood alone as a product synonymous with sophistication and luxury. Today, Chanel perfume remains a household name, just as it was during the Warhol era. In 1997, Chanel revisited the image, with the Warhol Foundation's permission, for use in an advertising campaign that year. The offset lithographs were printed in two sizes, with the present four works being of the smaller sizes. Each print measures 28.3 x 22 inches and is mounted on a linen backing measuring 31.1 x 24.4 inches.
