The Hans Christian Andersen complete portfolio by Andy Warhol is a series of four screenprints, three of which include a paper cut-out style based on characters from Andersen’s fairy tales. Andy Warhol was inspired by Andersen’s unique characters, which is why he devoted most of this portfolio to them, with only one portrait of the author himself. In this specific portfolio, Warhol uses a blue color to paint the illustrated form of Andersen in his print of the author. The other Andersen portfolio sees a double image of Andersen in black and white: one illustrated figure and one black and white photo-real figure. The series, completed in 1987, was printed by Rupert Jasen Smith in New York and published by Art Expo Danmark, Odense, Denmark.
