Featured in HBO's documentary 'The Business of Making Art' London-based artist Paul Stephenson has spent the last decade researching Andy Warhol’s artistic process and uses Warhol’s original acetates to create his stunning After Warhol collection.
Dubbed ‘posthumous Warhols’ by the world’s leading Warholian authority, Rainer Crone, the artworks were printed in New York by the Pop Art founder’s original screen printer, Alexander Heinrici, and have been lauded by the BBC and VICE Magazine. Find out more about how they’re created here.
In a nod to the decision that brought down the Andy Warhol Art Authentication Board in early 2012, each silkscreen is stamped ‘UNDENIED’ on the reverse. They are also hand-stamped by Paul, in a faithful continuation of Warhol’s own use of a stamped signature.

The artist
Paul Stephenson
Researching and recreating the practices first established by Andy Warhol, London-based artist Paul has dedicated the last decade to creating After Warhol. Created using the Pop Art founder's original acetate, the artist recreates Warhol's iconic Cow series.
"These one-off/unique colourways came about quite organically as part of following Andy Warhol's process. He experimented with making multiple 'colourways', he talked about people getting a Warhol that would match the drapes/curtains. Making unique one-off colours felt like a natural progression of that Warholian idea."
'The process for making these unique colour involves hand painting the background colours. Even using the same pigments and same brand of paint that Warhol used. The end result is exactly what you would see on a Warhol painting hanging in the Tate retrospective right now.'
