Size: 38 x 38 in (96.52 x 96.52 cm)
Edition: 150
Signed
An emblem of American identity reimagined through Pop Art, Andy Warhol’s Bald Eagle (1983) brings a commanding national symbol into his celebrated animal series. Executed as a 38 × 38-inch screenprint on Lenox Museum Board, this signed work comes from an edition of 150. Its bold graphic character, cultural resonance, and assured provenance make it a distinguished acquisition for collectors of Warhol and postwar art.
Bald Eagle belongs to Andy Warhol’s celebrated Endangered Species portfolio, created in 1983 with the support of Ronald and Frayda Feldman. The series emerged during a period of rising environmental awareness, placing threatened wildlife into the same bold Pop language Warhol used for celebrities and consumer icons.
There is no original street-graffiti version. Warhol created Bald Eagle as a studio silkscreen, not public-wall art. Its crisp outline, flat colour, and graphic scale, however, give it the visual force that later became familiar in street and contemporary art.
The bald eagle carries strong symbolism: freedom, power, national identity, and resilience. By presenting this emblematic bird as an endangered species, Warhol adds a sharper theme of fragility and environmental responsibility.
For collectors, Bald Eagle has strong market appeal because it combines Warhol’s recognizable style with an unmistakably American subject. Edition, colourway, condition, and provenance remain central to rarity and value.
In our gallery experience, the work has immediate presence. It reads as both a striking Pop image and a thoughtful statement about what society chooses to protect.
It fits Warhol’s mature 1980s period and connects with Elephant, Giant Panda, Grevy’s Zebra, and his wider fascination with iconic imagery. For collectors seeking a distinctive Warhol with cultural weight, Bald Eagle is a compelling acquisition.
