Meaning & Analysis

Warhol uses the screen printing process to mass produce an image of the church and produce varying iterations of the building, differing in colour and level of detail. In this print, Warhol renders the church in dark and sombre colours. The magnificent church is set against a grey backdrop and Warhol uses black and grey tones to delineate the church and the details of its Gothic architecture.

The print is part of the Cologne Cathedral collection which is composed of four screen prints, all of which depict the cathedral. Cologne Cathedral is Germany’s most visited landmark and houses the reliquary of the Three Kings. The cathedral has a strong historical, cultural and religious heritage and by rendering it in his Pop Art style, Warhol transforms the building into a Pop Art icon.

Warhol simplifies the details of the Gothic architecture significantly through the printing process and draws attention to how the addition of colour and line can abstract an image from its conventional context and redefine the way it is seen.

  • Andy Warhol was a leading figure of the Pop Art movement and is often considered the father of Pop Art. Born in 1928, Warhol allowed cultural references of the 20th century to drive his work. From the depiction of glamorous public figures, such as Marilyn Monroe, to the everyday Campbell’s Soup Can, the artist challenged what was considered art by blurring the boundaries between high art and mass consumerism. Warhol's preferred screen printing technique further reiterated his obsession with mass culture, enabling art to be seen as somewhat of a commodity through the reproduced images in multiple colour ways.
