Crosses is a series of works by the American artist
Andy Warhol, which he completed between 1981 and 1982. Warhol was raised
Catholic in a profoundly religious family in
Pittsburgh, where he attended multiple services a week.
Vincent Fremont investigated the series while at
ARTnews and established a complete list of the series.[1][2]
Works
Dozens of colored Polaroid's showing wooden crosses in varying arrangements on the floor are in possession of the
Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual arts, Inc., New York. The crosses that were used for this purpose (4.8 in × 2.6 in, 122 mm × 66 mm) are kept in the
Andy Warhol Museum in
Pittsburgh.
Four drawings, graphite on hand-made paper, ca. 32 in × 24 in (810 mm × 610 mm), are in possession of the Andy Warhol Foundation.
Eleven paintings, silkscreen prints on acrylic on canvas, 20 in × 16 in (510 mm × 410 mm); four of them owned by the Andy Warhol Foundation, three owned by the
Anthony d'Offay Gallery, London, and four others are in possession of the Andy Warhol Museum. They present the twelve crosses in different colors, shown in three horizontal rows with four crosses to a row. In comparison to the large-scale series they are shown the wrong way round.
Nineteen paintings, silkscreen prints on acrylic on canvas, 90 in × 70 in (2,300 mm × 1,800 mm); four of them in possession of the Diozesanmuseum Kiln; two others owned by the
Andy Warhol Museum; thirteen others owned by the
Andy Warhol Foundation. One of these works sold at Sotheby's on June 30, 2020 for $US 2,660,000.[3]
