Description
-
This 1968 portfolio used Teletype texts reporting the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. By screenprinting the Teletype texts, Warhol could relay the unfolding situation. However, Warhol used the news story and created the screen prints more than four years after it first shocked the nation. He did this in particular to speak on the media and public's obsession with tragedy and portraying all news events as horrible. This is not to say that the assassination wasn't horrible, but rather was Warhol's manner of underlining how no one could escape feeling sad due to how the television and radio programmed the public.
