Andy Warhol Limited Edition Skateboard Skull Blue THE SKATEROOM
Andy Warhol Skull THE SKATEROOM Edition

Limited Edition of 100

Skull White,
Andy WARHOL

THE SKATEROOM, in collaboration with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, presents a limited edition of 100 featuring Andy Warhol’s Skulls series.

Andy Warhol – Skull White – Available on PRE-ORDER  (delivery mid-2021)

Created between 1976 and 1977 at Warhol’s New York studio, known as the Factory, Skulls presents the image of a human skull resting on a flat surface. The series is based on a black and white photograph originally taken by one of Warhol’s assistants. Following Warhol’s instructions, his assistant took photographs while casting a variety of dramatic shadows by manipulating the light source’s position.

As a result, the forehead and cheekbone stand out brightly while the eye sockets and other recesses create a deep void that confronts its audience. The liveliness of the colors used is directly placed in opposition with the intensity of the subject matter.

The Skulls series, like most of Andy Warhol’s body of work, is ambiguous in its interpretation. Some art historians have linked the artworks to Warhol’s nearly lethal shooting in 1968, implying an obsessive awareness of death following the event. Yet, in his book The Philosophy of Andy Warhol (1975), Andy Warhol himself famously claimed, “I don’t believe in it because you’re not around to know that it’s happened. I can’t say anything about it because I’m not prepared for it.”

These editions of artwork are intended for decorative purposes. While you could definitely skate on them if you wanted to, we provide you with one wall mount per deck to hang them on your wall, just like a painting.

We provide you with everything you need to hang your boards up. With your edition purchase you will receive the EasyFix wall mounts. It’s really easy to set up and you can find all the instructions right here. You can always upgrade to the premium SnapDisplay wall mounts.

Our team is also always ready to help if you have any additional questions.

Direct exposure to sunlight might result in discoloration and damage to your editions. To avoid this, we strongly suggest hanging your art-decks away from direct natural light.

You have up to 14 days after receiving your order to request a return. The 14-day return policy is applicable on all products except limited hand-signed editions. We will provide you with a return label to send us back the purchased edition in the same condition as when received, with the original packaging and documentation.
