Cover | Andy Warhol
Mother and Child (1986). This image by Andy Warhol is part of his Cowboys and Indians series from the 1980s that incorporated portraits that stereotyped iconic Americans (Annie Oakley, John Wayne) and Native Americans (Geronimo, Standing Bull) outside their historical contexts. See it at Masterworks Fine Art, a small gallery in the Oakland hills established in 1973. Masterworks is known for specializing in 16th- to 20th-century masters and has built a collection on a wide range in the artists’ oeuvre, emphasizing not only rarity, demand, and salability, but also potential appreciation, historical context, and personal insight. Contact the gallery at www.MasterworksFineArt.com or at 510-777-9970; gallery visits are by appointment only.
