Price History
Description
A reproduction print of Andy Warhol's 'Butterflies', from 1955. Printed in the UK on 300gsm textured paper with a solid ash frame, hand-stained in black. It's glazed with a window mount and ready to wall-mount with fittings at the back of the frame. Andy Warhol was born in the U.S 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 huge variety of the art including drawings, screen-prints, paintings, photographs, films and installations. Andy Warhol died in 1987, after somewhat over-extending his allotted 15 minutes of fame. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
This print of Andy Warhol’s butterflies is a vibrant, playful piece that works well in both modern and eclectic interiors. Its bold, colourful imagery makes it an ideal statement piece in a living room or hallway, bringing a pop of colour and a touch of artful sophistication. Styling tips include pairing it with neutral sofas or surrounds to let the artwork stand out or creating a colourful gallery wall by combining it with other prints or objects in similar hues. The black frame adds a contemporary edge, making it versatile enough to adapt to different decor styles, from minimalist to more relaxed, boho spaces. It's practical for those wanting to introduce a bit of iconic art and colour without overwhelming the room.

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.
