Andy Warhol Rare Vintage 1987 Original H.C. Andersen, Paper Cut: Pierrot with Swans and Buildings on a Tray Poster

This vintage, original poster was created in 1987 in conjunction with Andy Warhol’s print portfolio related to Hans Christian Andersen and comes directly from the artist’s estate. The Danish author Hans Christian Andersen is known internationally for his fairytales, which have been translated into over 125 languages. While known for his stories, Andersen also created hundreds of paper cut-outs throughout his life. This poster features Warhol’s interpretation of one such cut-out, the bold silhouette of Pierrot with Swans and Buildings on a Tray, which likely appealed to Warhol’s interest in graphic forms. This is a unique opportunity to purchase a rare and out-of-print poster directly from Warhol’s own personal collection.

Proceeds directly benefit the non-profit charitable organization he founded with the mission to advance the visual arts. Since its inception in 1987, The Andy Warhol Foundation has been a stalwart advocate for freedom of expression, supporting work that is experimental and challenging in nature and from communities that have been historically marginalized.
