Andy Warhol's Kiku series, created in 1983, showcases his fascination with Japanese culture and still life. ‘Kiku’ is the Japanese word for chrysanthemum, a flower deeply symbolic in Japanese tradition, representing everything from imperial power to the beauty of nature and the life cycle. Warhol's interpretation features bold jewel tones in a series of multiple variations, each exploring different colours and compositions of the chrysanthemum motif. Warhol's Kiku works blend Japanese aesthetics with Western pop art sensibilities, reflecting his ability to elevate everyday objects and cultural symbols that exemplify his mature period of experimentation with new subjects and his enduring influence on contemporary art.
