Description

Andy Warhol’s From Electric Chairs (1971) belongs to one of the artist’s most powerful and thought-provoking series. Through his iconic silkscreen technique, Warhol transforms an image of state-sanctioned execution into a haunting meditation on modern society’s relationship with death, power, and spectacle.

Rendered in striking color contrasts and precise layering, this work captures Warhol’s fascination with repetition and media imagery. The Electric Chairs series distills the tension between beauty and violence—inviting reflection on how images of tragedy become aestheticized through mass reproduction.

As part of Warhol’s continued exploration of celebrity, mortality, and moral detachment, From Electric Chairs exemplifies his ability to confront uncomfortable truths with visual elegance and conceptual rigor.
