Andy Warhol (1928–1987), a founding figure of Pop Art, redefined the boundaries between fine art and commercial culture. Born in Pittsburgh to Slovakian immigrants, Warhol merged avant-garde experimentation with mass media, celebrity, and consumerism. His early background in illustration shaped his instantly recognizable style—one that continues to influence contemporary art and culture. After graduating from Carnegie Institute of Technology, Warhol moved to New York and became a leading commercial illustrator in the 1950s. By the 1960s, he had turned to fine art, producing iconic works such as the Campbell’s Soup Cans and Marilyns. These paintings captured the repetition and detachment of consumer imagery while challenging traditional notions of artistic authorship. Warhol's studio, The Factory, became a cultural hotspot through the 1970s, attracting celebrities, socialites, and fellow artists. Beyond painting and printmaking, Warhol also explored sculpture, photography, and experimental film, with notable works like Empire and The Chelsea Girls. His satirical, fame-obsessed persona—combined with a pioneering artistic vision—made him one of the most influential figures in post-war art. Today, Warhol’s works are held in major museum collections worldwide and remain a centerpiece of the auction market.

He began designing lettering and promotional pieces for New York leather merchants Fleming Joffe in 1958, including awning designs, color promotions, and conceptual sketches. Fleming Joffe were known for their use of dyed reptile skins; this is a color chart, displaying samples of available leathers in 22 colors and 13 varieties of materials and treatments, with the names lettered by Warhol in his characteristic scrawling interpretation of a modern copperplate in imitation of his mother’s handwriting, seen in 25 Cats Named Sam (1954), in his advertising work of the 1950s, and The Wonderful World of Fleming Joffe (1960). The color names include Naked Pink, Filly Brown, Mexicali Rose, Sailor Boy, No Beige, and others. The varieties of material and processes, with names equally whimsical, include Sweet Kid, Cobra, Shetland Vealer, Makassar, Shetland Kid Suede, Calcutta, Smoothie Kid, Dream Calf, Alligator Lizard, Dragon Lizard, O.U. Kid, and Geometries. The last named variety refers the user to two larger panels with textured samples outside the grid, Sphinx Kid and Disco Kid. A photograph of the Fleming Joffe showroom window from Summer 1965 includes a color chart with a slightly different configuration of names and samples that omits the large Geometries.

Inspired by Flower Fairies of Autumn by Cicely Mary Barker from 1926, its title is taken from a song sung by Gay Icon Beatrice Lillie "There are Faires in the Bottom of Our Garden." "According to Charles Lisanby, Warhol's close friend at the time, In the Bottom of My Garden came about when Warhol was influenced by books he had seen in Amsterdam, the last stop on the two men's world tour. This is also the sole basis on which to date the book. Lisanby mentioned by name the artist Grandville, whose engravings Warhol had already used for Love Is a Pink Cake and from whom Warhol now took ideas for flora and fauna. He adapted some putti from Jack Stella. To these inspirations one can add the famous Dance of Cupids (after Raphael) by Marcantonio Raimondi, from which Warhol borrowed the round dance of the putti. It is tempting to suppose that he found a book on putti containing all of these examples during his travels in Europe. The illustrations do not follow a storyline, and moreover the copies (that still exist) differ in sequencing. The blotted-line drawings focus on outlines and omit any detailing. Their comic effect, however, does not rely on the use of watercolors, which were applied (unevenly) to some pages of the book."
