Published to raise funds for the Committee 2000 which works on projects to commemorate the year 2000
Committee 2000 was commissioned by a German organization to raise funds for projects commemorating the year 2000. The work is a modern interpretation of a still-life, featuring party items such as champagne glasses, party hats, horns, and confetti.
This print, created in 1982, depicts an arrangement of champagne glasses and party favors in a geometric, almost mechanical, pattern. The composition features a cluster of apparently discarded or tipped-over champagne glasses, surrounded by floating confetti and party horns. The scene evokes the aftermath of a glamorous party, a common setting in Warhol’s life. He employs bright, highly saturated colors, including pink outlines, and hues of yellow, teal, blue, and purple, which deviate from the realistic palette of traditional still-life paintings. The use of bold, gestural lines provides a sense of dynamism and motion, implying the glasses have just been tipped over.
Committee 2000 blends the traditional genre of still-life with Warhol’s Pop Art aesthetic, challenging the boundaries between high art and mass consumerism. Warhol transforms the classic still-life subject matter (vessels, fruit) into modern, everyday objects of celebration and excess (champagne glasses, party hats). He applies a completely unique, non-realistic method to the genre, focusing on bold colors and repetitive demarcation rather than realistic representation. The print alludes to the themes of glamour and extravagant parties commonly associated with Warhol’s New York studio, The Factory.
