Big Electric Chair
Big Electric ChairWarhol's use of silk screen inks within this synthetic polymer painted canvas captures the brutal reduction of life, translating into nothingness within this deadpan presentation entitled "Big Electric Chair." Created in 1963, Warhol uses the empty chamber as a poignant metaphor for death with this chilling piece, included in his "Death and Disasters" collection. This piece was the beginning of his pivotal shift into mass production with arresting imagery. [Photo via]
