Set of 3 new St. Dupont Line 2 lighters, Andy Warhol 1964 collection, limited edition released in 2004.
This St. Dupont Andy Warhol series is new, never used or displayed, and comes with boxes, guarantees, and booklets describing the collection.
The St. Dupont Andy Warhol 1964 series consists of 3 numbered Line 2 lighters made of platinum, with a polished finish and hand-applied Chinese lacquer decorations and engravings.
The three lighters that make up this 2004 collection represent iconic works by the Pop Art genius: Andy Warhol's 1986 self-portrait, Marilyn Monroe from 1964, and Elvis Presley from 1964.
These world-famous figures, icons of American and world culture, are the subject of the wonderful, prophetic phrase engraved on the back.
"In the future, everybody will be world famous for fifteen minutes," Andy Warhol.
A prophetic phrase that remains true today in our society, imbued and shaped by social media and commercial television, distributors of fleeting popularity!
These three works of art by the king of Pop Art, Andy Warhol, would fit right in a museum!
Andy Warhol, one of the most celebrated artists of the 20th century and a pivotal figure in contemporary art.
Warhol's pioneering integration of Pop Art in the early 1960s found significant inspiration in the symbols of mass consumption.
In 1962, he revolutionized the art world by introducing silkscreen photographs reproduced on canvas, a technique that became his trademark.
St. Dupont has reproduced three iconic works in agreement with the Andy Warhol Foundation.
"Marilyn Monroe 1964" in platinum, Line 2 model. Featuring a pop art portrait of the immortal and sensual actress in the act of kissing.
The Dupont lighter dedicated to Marilyn Monroe was produced in a limited edition of 1,964.
"Elvis Presley 1964" features a vibrant double portrait of Elvis, exuding the energy and charisma of the "King of Rock and Roll."
Launched in 2004, this stunning piece is a tribute to two legends: Andy Warhol and Elvis Presley.
Limited to just 1,964 pieces worldwide, it commemorates the year Warhol created the famous Elvis portrait, adding an element of historical significance to this collector's item.
"The 1986 Self-Portrait" with its deep, vivid color and the artist's face looking at you, then offering you the quote engraved on the back of the lighter.
Andy Warhol: "In the future, everyone will be world famous for fifteen minutes."
Limited to just 1,986 pieces worldwide, it commemorates the year Warhol created his famous self-portrait.
