From one legend tipping its hat to the next, Montblanc pays homage to the legendary Pop Art icon Andy Warhol with a new limited edition pen. This item of fine art makes for an ideal and timeless gift this festive season.
MONTBLANC HONOURS A LEGEND
The Montblanc Great Characters Andy Warhol Special Edition has been created to honour and celebrate the visual artist through its refined design which reflects the characteristics of Warhol’s world renowned works.
Consisting of thought provoking paintings, drawings, films and photographs, the repetition of which highlights the commodification of the popular symbols modernity holds valuable, Warhol’s work tore down the barriers of traditional art, becoming an icon in his own right.
ENGRAVINGS
The engravings of the Montblanc Great Characters Andy Warhol Special Edition range from Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup Cans series from 1965 and the Dollar Sign series representing the relationship between pop culture and money. Also available is the brightly coloured Flowers series from 1964.

Art is what you can get away with.
