Andy Warhol's *Moonwalk* (1987) is a screenprint depicting the iconic image of Buzz Aldrin planting the American flag on the moon. Using bright, bold colors, Warhol transforms the photograph into a pop art masterpiece. The astronaut's suit is a vibrant pink, while the flag is rendered in a contrasting red, white, and blue. The image reflects Warhol's fascination with pop culture and its ability to shape our perceptions of reality. *Moonwalk* is considered to be a significant piece within Warhol's final year of life and represents his signature style of silkscreen printing, a technique he utilized throughout his career.
