Celebrating one of the most important artists of the modern era, Kidrobot and The Andy Warhol Foundation have teamed up again for a new, limited-edition addition to the Kidrobot x Andy Warhol collection. Kidrobot brings to life a limited-edition Andy Warhol 12-inch “Fragile” Bust. The inspiration for the design of this vinyl designer art toy comes from a 1962 composition by Warhol that tempts the viewer to consider the implications of fragility and art in pop culture. This is a striking must-have for every Warhol fan! LIMITED TO 200 PIECES WORLDWIDE! Executed in the pivotal year of 1962, Andy Warhol's Fragile – Handle with Care is from one of Warhol's first ever bodies of works, the Shipping Label series, and marks a decisive turn to the artist's epoch-defining use of silkscreen. A compelling synthesis of Warhol's career-long fascination with the relationship between the handmade and the machined, in this work the repeating cautionary words ‘FRAGILE – Handle with Care’ trace across the white canvas. Warhol relinquishes the harmonious regularity of the modernist, machined grid by introducing the characteristic slips and skips of the screens that give the artist's works their unique surface tension. Indicative of Warhol's drôle diction, he contentiously leaves these duplicating associative words open to questioning by not revealing the delicate, ‘fragile’ object. This nascent seriality is evocative of the ultimate multiplicity achieved in the artist's monumental early silkscreened paintings including 100 Cans (Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, NY), 200 One Dollar Bills, and 210 Coca Cola Bottles (Daros Collection, Switzerland) all executed in the same year. As the preeminent American artist of the 20th Century, Andy Warhol challenged the world to see art differently.
