About this work: Long-fascinated by the culture of the American West, Andy Warhol released a series of “Cowboys and Indians” prints – the portfolio was one of the last major series completed before Warhol’s death in 1987. Ten portraits were chosen for the series, including John Wayne, George Custer, Annie Oakley, and Apache leader Geronimo. A portrait of Sioux Chief Sitting Bull was also considered for the portfolio; it was ultimately replaced by another portrait and never published in the regular edition.
