Artwork Details
Artist: Andy Warhol (American, 1928–1987)
Title: After the Party
Year: 1979
Medium: Screenprint in colors on Arches 88 paper
Style: Pop Art
Dimensions: The full sheet size is typically around 21 5/8 x 30 1/2 inches (55 x 77.5 cm).
Edition Size: The main edition was a limited run of 1,000 hand-signed and numbered prints, plus artist's proofs.
Context and Meaning
Inspiration: The work was inspired by real photographs taken by Warhol after the end of the raucous parties he hosted or attended at his studio, "The Factory," and places like Studio 54.
Technique: Warhol started with a black and white photograph and then applied unique, off-register outlines of vivid colors (red, yellow, and blue) using separate screens. This technique makes each print in the series slightly unique.
Themes: The scattered glasses, bottles, and plates hint at the excess and glamour of the celebrity lifestyle, while the stark black and white contrast and hazy outlines subtly allude to the disorientating effects of alcohol and a darker, underlying emptiness.
