Andy Warhol, Orange Car Crash Fourteen Times (1963) at MoMA. The description for the piece reads: “In 1962 Warhol began to cull images of tragic frontpage news stories. He silkscreened this image of a fatal car accident fourteen times. "I tried doing them by hand," he said, "but I find it easier to use a screen. This way, I don’t have to work on my objects at all." Warhol's distance from the work’s making parallels his diffusion of this gruesome image through repetition and deterioration.”
Sadly, my news aggregator Feedly has been down all day, and I am unable to access my weekly picks for the round up. I hope this isn’t some Halloween curse, but I have decided instead to post a gallery of spooky Halloween related artworks from the world of art history. Click on the images below to learn more. Enjoy! 🎃
