A work that transforms a pattern designed for concealment into something impossible to ignore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInspired by his assistant Jay Shriver, who had been working with military camouflage cloth, Warhol took a pattern designed to make soldiers invisible and did the opposite — rendering it in hot pink, crimson, and vibrant orange. The palette of Camouflage (Pink) makes any soldier instantly visible. In choosing these colours, Warhol exposes the entire logic of concealment as just another design choice — a surface, a style, a brand. The camouflage pattern, stripped of its military function and repainted in Pop colours, becomes exactly what Warhol always found most interesting: something useful that has been made purely decorative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the last body of work Warhol completed. He died on 22 February 1987, weeks after the portfolio was finished. The edition is not hand-signed by Warhol — who died before the work was formally published — but is signed on verso by Frederick Hughes, executor of The Estate of Andy Warhol, whose signature serves as the authorised authentication of the work. It also carries the copyright inkstamp of the artist and the blindstamp of the printer, Rupert Jasen Smith. The complete Camouflage portfolio is held in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
