Markus Ferris you actually can, it's not very hard to make a diy set-up similar to hers, you just need some mesh, sticks, nails to keep the sticks together, glue or some other option to keep the mesh on the wooden sticks (make sure you stretch it out reaaaaally well but without it getting torn) and the hinges are optional, just try to have all the layers lined up correctly before printing. The inks are a little bit more on the pricey side but I think the result is worth it. And there is the photosensitive emulsion as well... I recently tried this method during a summer school programme (with more professional equipment than the setup I described though) and the end result was beautiful -I was so pleased that I am seriously considering giving screenprinting/silkprinting a chance for making artworks to sell.
I was fortunate to be friends with Andy in the 70s I was in art school at school of visual arts SVA I was invited to an art show and met him , he invited me to his show , studio. A unique man. He helped me through the maze of the art field. A special time in NYC then
Interesting comment. I did some screen printing for him back then. I never bought in to what he was about, that lifestyle, etc. I suppose I could have ended up wealthy had I "planned" to acquire a lot of his prints directly, but held true to my standards. Oh well, I ended up very successful from other avenues. At that time, I did not realize that he and that whole era of hangers-on would soon all be gone.
wow... this was so cool I think I looked at Warhol in the past and internally said, "oh that's simple" -- holy crap, it is not!! this is actually quite awesome. I have a whole new appreciation. this series makes an artists work really come alive for me. it unlocks something in your mind that allows you to see things you otherwise wouldn't. thanks for this.
FACT: WARHOL DIDN'T DO. THE. SCREEN PRINTING RATHER HE HAD A BUNCH OF. FRIENDS AND AND ADDICTS AND BOYS/HUSTLERS. ALL. HIGH AF WHO DID THE WORK FOR HIM. AND LATER HE WOULD. SIGN. THE PRINTS WITH A BLACK PERMANENT MARKER.
@@samaraisnt true, but when you buy stuff on amazon you know that it wasn't made by bezos rather bezos just created and owns the company vs warhol, when you see a work of art by "warhol" in an art museum or read about one of his prints selling at sotheby's for 20 million dollars people assume that the work was actually done by warhol himself which couldn't be further from the truth.
omg why am I only seeing this video now, it answered so much questions I had and offered me a new direction of my art portfolio . If I got accepted next semester I'll give this video full credit lmao
not really. I mean artists paint pictures and painted paintings can take weeks or months or years! She basically made her art prints in an afternoon! Its like the last stop on the art train before you pull into the lazy art ghetto of just printing digital prints on your Epson!!!! I love digital prints too...but this process seems to maintain a bit of physical craft to image making process which instills some sense of authenticity and truth which is kind of absent in digital printing.
Very cool style to expose how its done. I've always just went to the copy store, printed paper and incorporated it as is and add paint or use a transfer to clear gloss and paste into a painting. Thanks for sharing! I used to sell Warhol prints for a year in a gallery. :)
wow at my first time t have seen Warhol’s painting i thought he was master of draw:) but after see this i really think he is so creative smart and real genius🙏 love pop art
There are many different sizes of screen prints. It’s fairly easy to. You don’t necessarily have to do more than one or two colors. It’s actually fairly easy.
Fabrizio's comment is correct. Warhol was an "act", a charlatan, popular in his day. His work was executed by other people. I should know, because I was one of them. I was a friend of Warhol's main printer, and I sometimes helped to print silk screens on linen canvas. These were mixed media, that is, silk screen polaroid photos printed over underpaintings on canvas. What astonished me most was that Warhol did not even do the quick brushy underpaintings! Haha. Those were also done by his printer! Bottom line: these works were 100% created by hired assistants, NEVER touched by the "artist"!!! I was also rather aghast at the lack of professionalism in use to produce those works, things that would upset any truly professional printmaker. But no one asked me for my suggested improvements! Why, one may ask? Because the cruder and more accidental in appearance, the more it fit with Warhol's outlook. He was truly about making money without regard to any past standards of artistic skill or excellence. And to this day, his absence from quality oversight is entirely unnoticed in the big auction house results. The Art World is a very strange place, indeed. Many modern artists garner vastly higher prices than the real Old Masters!!!
Ok but getting someone to execute your ideas would mean you hold the intellectual property / creative aspect of the work. Especially if its work that you have the ability to do yourself but not the time...so a visual kind of orchestrator / director. If I had able operatives to help me I'd /we'd make lots of work...depending on how creative you are - you may need people to get all of hese ideas and versions off anyway.
When you said you wash your screen clean of ink, what do you recommend using for this? There are a few products out there and I'm curious what folks like, what works and what products people are using for clean up. Cheers.
For art we did prints using linoleum blocks or something and it was such a nerve racing but fun experience:) Andy is one of my inspirations and it was so fun printing
YOU SHOULD TRY MY 'SCRUNCH' METHOD - VERY SIMPLY - WITH THE PHOTO LAYER, SCREW UP A SHEET OF PAPER, FLATTEN IT OUT AND PRINT ON IT. DONT RECHARCH THE SCREEN BUT THROW AWAY THE SCREWED UP PAPER PRINT AND PRINT ON A NEW SHEET OF PAPER... THIS RESULTS IN A CRACKLE EFFECT AS WHERE THE SCREWED UP PAPER TOUCHED THE SCREEN THE RESULT IS THE LINES...ENJOY..
I saw a video where it looks like Warhol put the black down first. It seems like a good way to make copies of your paintings where you could make multiples and keep most of your original paintings. But then again it seems really complicated. I wish someone would explain it a little clearer.
I'm pretty sure they didn't use photoshop or light sensitive emulsion in the mid 1960's. Warhol famously didn't use register marks for his screen prints, hence the unregistered look of his multiple colour prints.
Why would you think that emulsion wasn't used in the 60s ? All it takes is the photo being printed on a transparent medium. Photoshop just allows for faster and easier control on contrast. The only difference is that back then the tweaks to the BW image would have been taken care of by the photo lab producing the master.
Hi I hope you get this message as it's a while ago you posted this video. I would like to know why you didn't have to have a darkroom to put the image on the silk screen as everything seemed to be in the daylight in the video. Please let me know. Great video. Thanks Matt
We have created a number of films related: "Andy Warhol's Factory People" ...all based on fifty hours of interviews with those who were there with him in the Silver Factory of the 60s. Right now we are editing: How Andy Made a Painting. Hi Tate...are you out there?
Yes it's okay, this kind of an emulsion is not that sensitive like photoemulsion which used on photopapers. Problems starts over 10 minutes appromixetly. As you can see in the video after you apply the emulsion coat you put it to some dark space to dry it. So it's not a big problem but of course do not take it to sunlight
I like this technique but I work using oil paint. Equipment looks kind of expensive. Do you know of a source to buy the minimum screens necessary to do this?
me clicking on this video: oh neat! wonder if it’s a DIY process to copy his style or something me after a minute of watching: ah. I have absolute no means of doing this myself
This is the cleanest screenprinting studio I've ever seen in my life.
LOL
confirmed
exactly lol 😀😀
there’s nothing better and more stressful than screen printing in a classroom full of other people screen printing
eli hauser This comment spoke to my soul
“better and more stressful”?
Jajaaaa
100 % .... It's amazing when it all comes together but when it doesn't it's horrendous 😂🙈

Was searching for a quick diy tutorial. Looks like I just need a small factory and then I can get at
Oh okay. Let me just go ahead and try this in my apartment.
Markus Ferris you actually can, it's not very hard to make a diy set-up similar to hers, you just need some mesh, sticks, nails to keep the sticks together, glue or some other option to keep the mesh on the wooden sticks (make sure you stretch it out reaaaaally well but without it getting torn) and the hinges are optional, just try to have all the layers lined up correctly before printing.

Make smaller screens. Look up Mod Podge silk screen I do that in a small room.
It looks like socialized old form of printing.
Can you do it with a printed piece of paper and baby oil? I remember creating something like this for a T-shirt but forgot the DIY process.
I’ve done it. Not that big a deal, you just need to plan ahead and know what you’re doing.
I was fortunate to be friends with Andy in the 70s I was in art school at school of visual arts SVA I was invited to an art show and met him , he invited me to his show , studio. A unique man. He helped me through the maze of the art field. A special time in NYC then

@@ronneyrendon5045 yeah lol. like saying bezos runs every package; there's a reason he called it "The Factory"!!

I'm so lucky to have seen these works in the museum itself 🙏

“As Artists, we never know how it’s going to turn out. And THAT’S where the excitement lies!”
i love it when youtube recommends me new channels with good content
more process videos please! you never find process videos like these in a fine arts context. thanks!
I just finished reading Susie Hodge's "The short story of art" and came here to understand how silkscreen is made. Great explanation, thanks!
Silkscreen is a more difficult and complicated task than I thought before! Thank for the video.
Warhol was brilliant. Can’t wait to go and see the exhibition in Jan. 👍
Thanks. This was very instructional. I had no idea before this video about how Warhol made those iconic prints of his.
Tell us how to print money like Warhol.
omg why am I only seeing this video now, it answered so much questions I had and offered me a new direction of my art portfolio . If I got accepted next semester I'll give this video full credit lmao
That takes some dedication. The process makes me feel a bit anxious; tedious to the superb.
That is why Warhol hired artists to do it for him.
abstractsbybrian that Tates some dedication
FAR FROM IT - QUICK WAY TO GET LOADS OF WORKS OF ART..

well said!
That was A LOT OF WORK..also to mention the equipments she used. The only thing i have right now is amazement..
Very cool style to expose how its done. I've always just went to the copy store, printed paper and incorporated it as is and add paint or use a transfer to clear gloss and paste into a painting. Thanks for sharing! I used to sell Warhol prints for a year in a gallery. :)
yup thpught the same! feels simpler but i suspect warhol had a more streamlined efficient way to SS print tbh.
@@samaraisnt good point. I’m also wondering how this process would work for some of his large works.
wow at my first time t have seen Warhol’s painting i thought he was master of draw:) but after see this i really think he is so creative smart and real genius🙏 love pop art
Thanks for sharing.
I’ve never seen a squeegee holder (between pulls) like that before.
Very informative.
Gracias por tomarte el tiempo de crear este vídeo. Me inspiró mucho
Actually Warhol painted the colors by hand directly on the canvas and then did the black screen print over it.
Learned this in high school & did a local folk bands shirts soon afterwards.
No wonder he called it "factory"
Hrnek Bezucha .yes
That and it was a old shoe factory!
Looks like using adobe Photoshop with manual
Maybe that’s where Adobe got the concept for layers :)
Thats essentially what it is hahah
I had no idea what was going on in this vid but I enjoyed it thoroughly
perfect. j'ai appris énormément sur le repérage et comment faire tenir l'écran. merci
Oh gosh, this vid makes me miss my silk screen class so much!!! TT TT
Congratulations. You are a very good teacher . Love your vídeo !
Looks so easy, I guess I can do this in my livingroom.
It's magic! I’m a French fan of Andy Warhol, I sing his life and his
death "Warhol’s Words", played on my channel!
Thanks for showing this process!
There are many different sizes of screen prints. It’s fairly easy to. You don’t necessarily have to do more than one or two colors. It’s actually fairly easy.

One of the best crafting videos i have watched
I wish I had ideas like him incredible man
now you do! go and make your own stuff!
Ah that lovely squeaky sound of screenprint. Interesting video
Go Marianne, great demo ,the process is very well explained
but how do you make the black paint into a fade or shaded region of the work? oh my gosh. but thank you for the video! very FUN!
When you said you wash your screen clean of ink, what do you recommend using for this? There are a few products out there and I'm curious what folks like, what works and what products people are using for clean up. Cheers.

Haili that’s sounds cool. How did it go?
did you intentionally not print a halftoned photo? either way, you got fantastic results. cheers
I learned about Warhol in my art school
Just the best …thanks
So beautiful!
Love it! Looks exciting to do.
This is a fun video. I'd like to see a more in depth followup from the same artist.
I'd love to get into screen printing. 🤗
Warhol would print the black base first. Once dried, he would paint over the black with the colour paint, which would show the black bellow it.
YOU SHOULD TRY MY 'SCRUNCH' METHOD - VERY SIMPLY - WITH THE PHOTO LAYER, SCREW UP A SHEET OF PAPER, FLATTEN IT OUT AND PRINT ON IT. DONT RECHARCH THE SCREEN BUT THROW AWAY THE SCREWED UP PAPER PRINT AND PRINT ON A NEW SHEET OF PAPER...

Excellent, Top 10
Wish to have studio as big as this
For the ink use acrylic paint mix with medium

Awesome video. Love it. I want to try to recreate the results with a digital process.
Great Video... could the next one just show equipment recommended for the project ...
But damn I wish I had seen this when I had access to a full print shop in high school
3:23 The moment I can relate to.
i'm impressed
Now that was super cool!
Well done. I like your art. Thank you for sharing.
amazing video! thank you
Acetateis a reall good idea !
Doesn’t seem too beginner friendly, but very interesting.
Yay screenprinting! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! Love your work and your video is so helpful!
It's not a cheap process. Usually printing companies have this kind of gear. You can do small ones at home.
We have created a number of films related: "Andy Warhol's Factory People" ...all based on fifty hours of interviews with those who were there with him in the Silver Factory of the 60s. Right now we are editing: How Andy Made a Painting. Hi Tate...are you out there?
Hi PlantetGroupEntertainment,
Yes we are here. You can email film[at]tate.org.uk for any film related enquiries or suggestions.
Very best, Tate
Very labour-intensive
I cant be the only one who now wants to buy one of the prints she just created...
thank you! this is amazing!
Cool!
Question: the emulsion is “light sensitive” but you apply it with lights on. Is that ok? Thanks
Yes it's okay, this kind of an emulsion is not that sensitive like photoemulsion which used on photopapers. Problems starts over 10 minutes appromixetly. As you can see in the video after you apply the emulsion coat you put it to some dark space to dry it. So it's not a big problem but of course do not take it to sunlight
A great pity not to display the final pictures to see properly !
Great video
Did Warhol print on canvas or paper? If canvas, was it raw canvas or was it primed? Great video. Looks like fun!
So how many different screens did you use? I met Andy in 1987 down near Wall Street
What are you printing them on? Just regular paper? Been screen printing shirts for 11 years, just curious of what you put that print on
Wunderbar :)
I like this technique but I work using oil paint. Equipment looks kind of expensive. Do you know of a source to buy the minimum screens necessary to do this?
Try using Google.
Love it! I’m also a serigrafista
"a screen printing table can be set up anywhere" So I can just go to Michaels and set all that up real quick in my bedroom😂
Isn't this the museum that, bought all those bricks? Cool
whoaaaaaaah!!!!!!! this is SICK i love it
nice
The squeegee part always sparks my curiosity ✨
I'm assuming you can but just to make sure, you can use the same method for shirts right????? or at least similar, to get the same effect?
Does the printing materials have to be in png form with not white but transparent background?
AMAZING!
Susahnya.. respect ah
me clicking on this video: oh neat! wonder if it’s a DIY process to copy his style or something
me after a minute of watching: ah. I have absolute no means of doing this myself
Lots of artists printers studios will let you rent space and equipment. It is a lot of fun!
