A defining work at the crossroads of Pop Art and luxury culture. In 1985, Andy Warhol created a series of bicolour silkscreens for Chanel N°5 as part of his celebrated Ads portfolio — a body of work in which he elevated the icons of American consumer culture into fine art. The bold gradient background, expressive brushstrokes across the bottle, and oversized typography create a composition at once glamorous and subversive, turning a commercial object into a timeless symbol of desire.
This poster is part of a set of four issued by Chanel in 1997 when the house reprised Warhol's imagery for a major advertising campaign. By repeating the same motif across contrasting colour combinations — blue, yellow, pink, red, green, turquoise, black and mauve — each version carries a distinct visual intensity while preserving the graphic elegance of the famous fragrance. The yellow and blue version is among the most striking of the set.
This piece is sold unframed, carefully rolled and shipped in a rigid tube to ensure it arrives in pristine condition.
