WARHOL IS OVER!


Whilst pounding the streets of East London we came across these thought provoking posters by Amuti who, “specialise in buying and selling contemporary art, rare and first edition books, rock 'n' roll and drug literature, memorabilia and ephemera”.

It is an interesting campaign, as we have lived in an era where Warhol has been the benchmark for art, youth culture and anything slightly creative. Is this the first step of emerging from the Warhol shadow? How many times have the mainstream press waxed lyrical about Bansky being the new AW and how BoomBox was London’s answer to Studio 54..?
