Cowboys and Indians is one of Andy Warhol's final and most compelling portfolios. Created in 1986, this series of silkscreens brings together a striking selection of historical figures, indigenous iconography, and objects deeply embedded in the American mythos. With his unmistakable Pop Art aesthetic, Warhol transforms history into icon-and the icon into timeless art.
Rather than merely portraying, Warhol reimagines. He places legendary Western figures like John Wayne and Annie Oakley side by side with powerful portraits of Native American leaders such as Geronimo. The result is a layered narrative that challenges conventional storytelling and invites reflection on identity, power, and cultural memory.
At Galería Cortina, we are proud to present this complete and exquisite series-an emblem of contemporary art and a testament to Warhol's enduring vision. This exhibition represents not only our dedication to artistic excellence, but also our mission to bring powerful, transformative works to the public-works that speak to the past, challenge the present, and inspire the future.
