Neuschwanstein, 1987

This edition was one of Andy Warhol’s last works. The titular 19th century castle in South Germany is known for its extravagance and romanticism and is said to have inspired the castle in Disney’s Sleeping Beauty. It was thus the perfect subject for the pop artist whose motifs would primarily draw from advertising, consumerism and pop culture, often blurring the lines between the real and the mythological.
