Description
The famous quote, 'Art Is What You Can Get Away With', popularised by Andy Warhol, is reproduced as a vivid piece of art, making a striking statement on any wall. Supplied unframed with a mount. Andy Warhol was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the USA in 1928 and after a successful career as a commercial illustrator, he became a renowned and sometimes controversial artist. He is regarded as one of the leading figures of the pop art movement and achieved a celebrity status beyond anything previously seen in the art world. In works that plundered the world of advertising, pop culture and celebrity, Warhol offered up iconic images in a comment on the banality of mass consumer culture – work that ironically made him famous in his own right. Working from his ‘Factory’ headquarters, Warhol cemented his lofty status by producing a prolific variety of art including drawings, screenprints, paintings, photographs, films and installations. Andy Warhol died in 1987, after somewhat over-extending his allotted 15 minutes of fame with an enduring legacy. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I love this print for its bold, playful look-it's a statement piece that works particularly well in contemporary or eclectic interiors. Its vibrant pink and yellow palette adds energy to a room, making it ideal for living spaces, home offices, or even a creative nook. To style it effectively, consider pairing it with minimalist furnishings to let the artwork stand out, or mix it with other colourful accessories for a lively, curated feel. Framing in a simple mount-as this one comes-keeps the focus on the print itself, while allowing the punchy colours to really pop against neutral or subdued backgrounds. It’s a great way to introduce a pop of personality and artistic edge without overwhelming your space.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
