Combining seriality, repetition, and the mechanical modes of production for which he became so well-known, Electric Chair is a supreme illustration of the central preoccupations of Andy Warhol’s definitive brand of American Pop art.
Introduction
Bringing the bright, bold colors of Pop into an immediate and jarring tension with its grisly subject matter, this set of 10 screen-prints cut to the heart of the contradictions and repressed anxieties characterizing mid-century American consciousness, and of Warhol’s abiding interests in the image, celebrity, death, and tragedy. Collapsing moments of horror into the mechanics of the spectacle and mass-production, Electric Chair belong to Warhol’s renowned Death and Disaster series – a radical extension of his ambition for his Pop images to stand as ‘a statement of the symbols of the harsh, impersonal products and brash materialistic objects on which America is built today.’
Andy Warhol, The Electric Chair, 1966, Musée National d’Art Moderne, Centre Pompidou.

Warhol produced his first Electric Chair in 1964, shortly after the last executions by electrocution were conducted in New York state. Based on a haunting photograph 1953 of the death chamber in the infamous Sing Sing Prison in Ossining, New York where Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed after being convicted as spies for the Soviet Union in the politically charged atmosphere of the Cold War. Widely covered in the press, the case was a scandal that cut to the heart of American paranoia and anxiety during the period, leading French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre to describe the trial as ‘a legal lynching which smears with blood a whole nation’, continuing ‘your country is sick with fear […] you are afraid of the shadow of your own bomb.’

An instrument of impersonal, industrialized execution, the action of the electric chair is open to endlessly repetitious, unemotional use, the mechanization of death made even more harrowing due to the absence of any human element in the image.
Drawing obvious connections to the Screenprinting process itself, Electric Chair makes manifest the underside of American consumer culture, operating according to the same mechanics of reproduction that produced the Coca-Cola bottles, Campbell’s Soup tins, and the cult of celebrity that so often defines the American century. Commanding incredible wall power, in the 1971 Electric Chair portfolio, more closely cropped image of the chair is repeated across ten prints in a variety of Pop-infused candy pastel tones. Widely considered to be one of Warhol’s most affecting and powerful images in its quiet exposure of the horror and cruelty beneath the surface of post-war affluence and optimism, its array of ‘bright pastel colors [altering] the chair’s appearance into something barbaric, medieval, and absurd.’
