WHEN THE STATE OF OUR PLANET AND THE FATE ITS INHABITANTS BECAME A CAUSE FOR ALARM, WARHOL CREATED ART WORKS THAT REFLECT THAT CONCERN. HIS 1983 ENDANGERED SPECIES PORTFOLIO REPRESENTED A NEW SUBJECT MATTER FOR HIM. THE COMPLEX AND DAZZLING COLOR COMBINATIONS MAKE THE ANIMAL IMAGES SO IRRESISTIBLY BEAUTIFUL THAT ONE CANNOT HELP BECOMING INVOLVED IN THE ENVIRONMENTALIST MESSAGE CONVEYED. LATER WARHOL AGREED TO ILLUSTRATE A BOOK BY DR. KURT BENIRSCHKE THAT OUTLINED THE HISTORY, HABITS AND PLIGHT OF SOME OF THE MOST ENDANGERED ANIMALS ON EARTH. THE RESULTANT BOOK " VANISHING ANIMALS ", WAS PUBLISHED IN 1986. IT IS AN UNUSUAL COLLABORATION BETWEEN ARTIST AND SCIENTIST THAT BOTH INFORMS US AND INSPIRES US TO TAKE ACTION. THE IMAGE IN THIS PRINT WAS ORIGINALLY FIRST PUBLISHED IN THAT BOOK.
