Morris, Burton (American, contemporary), Martini - Blue version, undated, screenprint on wove paper, signed in pencil to the lower right and also with a hand-drawn olive, image size 30.25 x 23.5 inches, full sheet 36.5 x 29.5 inches, unframed, printer's blindstamp to lower corner. Steve says: Burton Morris came to me as a young ambitious painter wanting to be the next Andy Warhol. Be the next Burton Morris was my advice. Make New Pop, don’t revisit Old Pop. Now his POP style is uniquely his own. Fun, simple, a bowl of fruit, a taxi, a martini, popcorn, an all-star baseball print, superheroes; all are immediately recognizable as Burton Morris. He has had commissions for the US Olympics, Coors, Pepsi, Heinz and Absolute Vodka. His work can still be seen on reruns of Friends and Just Shoot Me. He is no longer a man about town; the happily married father of three is a hard-working, successful artist living in Los Angeles. Angst ridden Warhol is dead and buried. Burton has his life in front of him.
