In 1983, Andy Warhol created a series of ten color screenprints that portrayed endangered animals from around the world: Siberian Tiger, San Francisco Silverspot, Orangutan, Grevy's Zebra, Black Rhinoceros, Bighorn Ham, African Elephant, Pine Barrens Tree Frog, Giant Panda and Bald Eagle. Using brilliant colors - characteristic of Andy Warhol's signature style - and poignant expressions suggestive of the animal's fate, Andy warhol created a dynamic tension between art and reality.
