Andy Warhol's "Big Electric Chair" (1967-68) exemplifies his fascination with pop culture and the dark side of the American dream. Created using the silkscreen technique, the artwork depicts a blurred image of an electric chair, symbolizing the stark reality of capital punishment. The use of bold, contrasting colors and the repeated imagery are hallmarks of Warhol's style, creating a haunting and thought-provoking piece.
