Cooking Pot 77 cents fue el primero de todos los grabados publicados por Andy Warhol. En esa época, Warhol experimentaba con diferentes técnicas del grabado y fuentes para sus imágenes. Esta imagen en concreto está sacada directamente de un anuncio en el periódico y mostraba el interés de Warhol por reproducir imágenes, que después se expandirá con la producción de sus famosas obras que a la vez reproducen y manipulan las imágenes. Warhol utilizaría después las técnicas de serigrafía y añadiría variaciones a las imágenes a través del color, como podemos ver en sus grabados del presidente Mao, que se exhiben en esta exposición.

Cooking Pot 77 cents was the first print Andy Warhol ever published. At the time, Warhol was exploring different printmaking techniques and sources for his images. This particular image was taken directly from a newspaper advertisement and showed Warhol’s interest in replicating imagery, which would expand into his well-known works that both replicate and manipulate images. Warhol would later utilize screen-printing techniques and add variation to images through the use of color as seen in his prints of chairman Mao, on view in this exhibition.
