In 1983, Warhol was commissioned by his friend and publisher Ron Feldman and his wife Freyda to create the Endangered Species series to raise environmental awareness. Both Freyda and Ronald were celebrated political activists who were also very active philanthropists. Warhol affectionately called this series his 'animals in makeup,' given the bold splendor of color he used to depict the animals as life-sized.
