Andy Warhol

Warhol’s Bald Eagle 296 is thought to have captured the wild beauty of this rare bird. The bald eagle is also the national bird of the United States and is a symbol that was chosen by the Founding Fathers in 1782 as the Great Seal of the United States. The Great Seal depicts the bald eagle with 13 red and white stripes, on a blue field with the same number of stars. The eagle holds an olive branch in his right talon and in his beak is a scroll with the motto “e pluribus unum.” This specific print is considered to be one of the most desirable images in the 'Endangered Species' portfolio.
