Signed
Rooted in one of art history’s most enduring sacred subjects, Andy Warhol’s Annunciation (1984) brings Renaissance imagery into his distinctive language of modern reproduction. This 25 × 37.5-inch screenprint is signed and drawn from a scarce edition of 60. Its dialogue between religious tradition and Pop Art, together with its limited edition and strong authorship, makes it a compelling acquisition for discerning collectors.
Annunciation by Andy Warhol belongs to his late-career Renaissance-inspired works, created in the mid-1980s as he revisited masterpieces from European art history. The series draws on Leonardo da Vinci’s famous Annunciation, bringing a sacred Renaissance image into Warhol’s world of reproduction, celebrity, and mass media. By reducing the original to strong lines and repeated imagery, Warhol creates a striking dialogue between faith, art history, and modern visual culture. The work suggests revelation, devotion, beauty, and the changing meaning of an iconic image.
There is no recognized street-graffiti version. Warhol’s Annunciation was developed through his studio-based printmaking practice and belongs to his fine-art engagement with historical imagery, rather than the later street-art tradition.
For collectors, Annunciation is compelling because it represents a less commercial and more art-historical side of Warhol’s career. Its rarity, edition, condition, provenance, and authenticity can significantly influence demand and value.
From our gallery perspective, the work stands out for its restraint. Warhol takes one of Western art’s most important religious images and makes it unmistakably his own.
Artistically, it connects with Warhol’s Last Supper, Details of Renaissance Paintings, and other late religious works, showing his continued interest in turning familiar images into contemporary icons. For collectors seeking a sophisticated Warhol with museum-level cultural depth, Annunciation is a distinctive acquisition.
