Created circa 1956, In the Bottom of My Garden: one plate is a rare and poetic example of Andy Warhol’s early graphic work, predating his iconic Pop Art imagery. Produced as part of his illustrated book In the Bottom of My Garden, this offset lithograph with hand-coloring reflects Warhol’s formative years and his deep interest in line, intimacy, and narrative illustration.
The composition is delicately enhanced with watercolor applied by hand, lending each impression a unique character and underscoring Warhol’s experimental approach to printmaking during this early period. The imagery evokes a whimsical, almost fairy-tale atmosphere, revealing a more introspective and lyrical side of the artist, far removed from the mass-media icons that would later define his career.
Although this plate is not individually stamped, it originates from an authenticated bound volume bearing the Estate of Andy Warhol and Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts inkstamps, annotated “PM 13.0282.” As such, it represents an important and collectible work from Warhol’s early oeuvre, offering insight into the evolution of one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.
