Andy Warhol, Cologne Cathedral, yellow version, after

Andy Warhol, Cologne Cathedral, (after)

The extrem rare reprint of this unique outstanding serigraph was done for Art Houses, Art Museums, and Preferred Galleries. No expense was spared in reproducing this artwork, so you can expect the finest in detail, richness, and color. Printed on a heavy-archival acid-free paper, complete with satin finish, these prints would be exquisite framed and matted. This should NOT be compared with posters, offset lithographs and giclees, these are high-quality prints! Nothing comes near...  The image is part of a portfolio which is printed like the original with handmade silkscreen with several screens and up to 8 colours in a small edition. The quality of these reproductions is gorgeous (scan does not do it justice). In Art Galleries these prints would sell in frames for upwards of £400.00. Purchase the print here and pick your own frames from a local framer or art supply house.

Serigraphs are also known as silk-screens or screen prints. Finely woven, sheer fabric is stretched over a frame to form a screen. Non-image areas are blocked out, and ink is forced through the open areas of the screen with a squeegee to the paper which is directly beneath the open mesh of the screen. This basic process is varied by the artist depending on the effect the artist wants to achieve. As with other printmaking techniques, the artist may use multiple screens to create a color serigraph. Each color (from one to hundreds) is added to the paper individually as it is pressed through silk stencils. This is a painstaking process and usually results in small editions. A single print may take as many as 25 days to complete. Many experts feel this method holds true to the original. This, coupled with the fact that this process takes so much longer, usually means these prints retail at a higher value than lithographs.
