“I thought that the way to finish off painting for me would be to have a painting that floats, so I invented the floating silver rectangles that you fill up with helium and let out of your windows.”

Andy Warhol: Silver Clouds 1966

Silver Clouds, Andy Warhol.

The bright and shiny Silver Clouds were supposed to mark the end of Warhol’s career as a painter in 1965. The idea behind that didn’t quite float, but the balloons themselves did. Set aloft with a proprietary mix of oxygen and helium developed with engineer Billy Klüver—a major figure behind E.A.T. (Experiments in Art and Technology)—the Silver Clouds can hover without rising too high or falling too low. They also make a good match for the sky: as documented in footage of a balloon release from the roof of the Factory, while watching one fly away, Warhol exclaims, “Oh, it’s beautiful! It really is. It’s infinite because it goes in with the sky. Oh, it is fantastic—this is one of the most exciting things that’s ever happened.” (ArtNews)
