Designed by Flavor Paper/Andy Warhol Featured in the Andy Warhol Collection

As a brand, advertising isn’t something we really buy into. But, when we were given the opportunity to bring Andy Warhol’s Black & White Ads series into our portfolio, well, we were sold! Before he was crowned The King of Pop Art, Warhol worked as a commercial illustrator in the ‘50s, gaining footing for his drawings of shoes for Glamour Magazine, followed by further notoriety for his freelance work for corporate clients including Tiffany and Co., Vogue, and RCA Records. His unique style not only resulted in countless awards, but also earned him a reputation as one of the most in demand commercial artists of the decade. 


While Warhol continued to explore commercial imagery throughout his career - after all, he was fascinated with consumerism - in the ‘80s he developed a lesser-known sequence of silkscreened black and white paintings of images culled and traced from advertisements, diagrams, maps, and illustrations in popular print media that convey his characteristically concise view on life in contemporary America. All of Warhol’s constant themes are represented within: consumer culture, death and religion. Since his series resonates so profoundly even three plus decades later, we thought it was especially fit to print as wallpaper for all to absorb and digest all day, every day (as we do anyway). While Warhol offered many images to choose from, our tribute highlights his most introspective elements to create a design that’s less about the corporate way of life and more about your way of life. Just some things to think about…

Estimated Quantity accounts for a design's repeat and match, as well as the wall dimensions you enter. That said, we recommend a professional installer to provide you with exact quantities required for your job and as such Flavor Paper is not liable for incorrect quantities. Our Hand screened wall papers come untrimmed. We print and package in triple rolls [45' x 27"] whenever possible to minimize waste during installation. However, occasionally due to our high quality standards, your order may come packaged as singles, doubles or triples. If you require a triple roll due to the height of your wall, please contact us to confirm this is possible.

Process

Flavor Paper produces wallpaper by hand screened and digital printing, sometimes both for special projects. All aspects of production are in-house, so we can maintain our exacting perfectionist standards. We use water based or eco-solvent inks to be as green as possible and only print on the finest materials. Flavor Paper quality is unsurpassed. All Flavor Paper is produced to order, so you are free to interchange colors and grounds with handscreened wallpaper and can choose scale and colors for digital wallpaper. It’s your world. Get what you want.

Installation Guides

Wallpaper installation is a serious craft and takes many years of practice and experience to become a master hanger. Flavor Paper prints on some finicky materials with matches and layouts that can get confusing so, for the sake of your walls, we highly recommend using a professional installer.

You can find a qualified local wallpaper installer through the Wallcovering Installers Association.
