And continues here...

I find it very interesting that Warhol would purposely place a solid color canvas next to a screen printed or painted image. I believe the space creates a rest for the eyes and establishes dominance for the repeated image it sits next to. According to the story, Warhol’s blank connections were made to make the paintings larger in order to garner a larger price. What a capitalist! I love it. Hail Warhol!

Here is an image of Warhol’s Double Elvis that shows the true scale of the image.






By the way, here is the print I bought in ebay..

.

Very good price of $24... it is 50”x42”

Excellent!!

And of interest...



As displayed at the Pittsburg Museum of Art in 1990. This is Elvis Eleven Times.. never completed and was found in Warhol’s studio in progress.

It is so small I can fit it in my shirt pocket. I found this site with directions on how to make your own. Love it!

I plan on making mine this weekend. Look for results soon. Link given below.

I found another camera- a bit more complicated (if your a moron) but this version doesn’t require owning a 35mm camera. This version is from one of my favorite sites: MAKE
