The upcoming Prints & Multiples auction brings together original and limited edition prints by Australian and international traditional, modern and contemporary artists. Leading the collection is the highly anticipated “Silence = Death” by Keith Haring, a Pop Art master who left behind a strong, impactful legacy. Andy Warhol, another Pop Art extraordinaire is also featured, with an appropriation of his Campbell’s Soup Can series; a screenprint on a paper bag. Many collaborations were formed between these two artists, including the 1986 Montreux Jazz Festival screen print, which is an exciting highlight of the auction.
