Each collaboration has brought Warhol’s celebrated imagery into the realm of textile artistry, transforming his work into intricate woven forms that extend beyond traditional mediums. This ongoing partnership reflects a commitment to bridging the worlds of fine art and handcrafted design, creating a seamless intersection between the visual power of Warhol’s art and the tactile nature of handcrafted textiles. Through these collaborations, Henzel Studio has reimagined Warhol’s pieces in new and innovative ways, ensuring that his artistic legacy is not only preserved but also redefined in exclusive, limited-edition designs that offer collectors a rare opportunity to engage with his groundbreaking vision in a unique and highly collectible format.

In the latest release, Calle Henzel has reimagined Warhol’s Oxidation Paintings (1978) through a series of hand-knotted rugs that capture the radical materiality of the original works. In these groundbreaking pieces, Warhol applied metallic copper paint to canvas and exposed it to chemical oxidation, creating richly textured, iridescent surfaces. Henzel Studio’s adaptation meticulously preserves the depth and complexity of these visual effects, masterfully capturing the dynamic interplay between control and chance—an ethos central to Warhol’s practice.

As part of the Henzel Studio Heritage initiative, Calle Henzel revisits Andy Warhol’s enduring fascination with Marilyn Monroe, reinterpreting both a lesser-known work and his original 1967 silkscreen portraits of Monroe. The collection draws inspiration from a maquette Warhol created for an unrealized artist’s book (discovered in Warhol's Time Capsule 55 in 1994), in which he deconstructed and abstracted his own images of Monroe. This fragmented approach served as a foundation for Calle Henzel, who has further pushed the boundaries of the original compositions, layering his distinctive artistic vocabulary onto Warhol’s iconic imagery. Through his signature organic forms, strategic cutouts, asymmetric fringes, and intricate surface treatments, Henzel creates a dynamic tension between Warhol’s instantly recognizable portrait and the raw, expressive nature of textile art. By distorting, reconfiguring, and reimagining Monroe’s visage, Henzel invites a renewed dialogue on the transformation of images and the intersection of fine art and materiality.

Each rug is meticulously handcrafted in wool and silk, employing high and low pile techniques to evoke texture, dimensionality, and movement. The interplay of materials and craftsmanship ensures that no two pieces are identical, reinforcing their one-of-a-kind quality. Available in limited editions, each rug is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, affirming its status as both a collectible artwork and a functional object. By extending Warhol’s legacy into the realm of contemporary textile design, this collaboration underscores Henzel Studio’s commitment to redefining the relationship between art, craft, and material innovation. The result is a collection that not only honors Warhol’s artistic vision but also expands its reach, allowing collectors and art enthusiasts to engage with his work in an entirely new, immersive form.
