Andy Warhol Eyes
Printer ink on paper by : NGUYEN , Nathan
Inspired by Andy Warhol’s Four
Rows of Eyes (1952), the artist took
liberties by drawing five rows of eyes.
The eyes drawn likely belong to
people
whom
the
artist
knew
personally. These two nearly identical
pieces differ in what appear to be
color palettes. The piece dedicated to
Haley features warm tones,

whereas the piece dedicated to Ben
feature cool tones. Perhaps the
artist’s printer ran out of blue ink as
blue pigment appears to be absent
in the Haley version. The stark
contrast between the two versions
nonetheless showcases ingenious
innovation in the face of difficulty
for the artist.
