ANDY WARHOL Vanishing Animals: La Plata River Dolphin, 1991

Offset lithograph from Andy Warhol: Vanishing Animals, a portfolio of six works published by te Neues in 1992 and printed in Germany. This particular image features the Plata River Dolphin, an endangered species native to South America. Created toward the end of Warhol’s career, this series reflects his growing engagement with environmental themes—transforming vulnerable animals into bold Pop icons to raise awareness of species at risk.

Presented in a white wood frame with a 1-inch front profile and a 3/4-inch side profile, the artwork is mounted behind a 4-inch mat, creating a refined, gallery-style display that highlights Warhol’s iconic use of color and form.
