Andy Warhol- Death and Disaster series



For My dissertation i have based it on Andy Warhol's Death and Disaster series. This is a series of images that range from suicide victims to car crashes. Warhol took these pictures and reproduced them using the silk screen process. The first image is from the work he did called suicide girl. The image was taken after evelyn Mchale jumped to her death from the empire state building. The second image called Green car crash, shows a man that had been thrown from his car after a crash and the impact leaving him stuck on a post. Both of these images relate to Warhol's theory of everybody will get there 15 minuets of fame. Warhol made these otherwise unknown people famous.
