Warhol is renowned for popularizing the screenprint as a contemporary art form, first using the technique in the 1950s to produce paintings and, later, editioned prints. The large, colorful prints on view depict such public and historic figures as Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, Jimmy Carter, Sitting Bull and Alexander the Great, and were made by Warhol between 1977 and 1986.
