Andy Warhol Mick Jagger 1975 Screenprint in colours, on Arches Aquarelle paper. 110.5 x 73.7 cm (43 1/2 x 29 in). Signed by the artist and Mick Jagger and numbered 147/250 in pencil on the reverse, published by Seabird Editions, London. This work is from an edition of 250 plus 50 artist's proofs.
Provenance Private Collection, New York Literature Frayda Feldman and Jorg Schellmann 138 Artist Bio Andy Warhol American • 1928 - 1987 A seminal figure in the Pop Art movement of the early 1960s, Andy Warhol's paintings and screenprints are iconic beyond the scope of Art History, having become universal signifiers of an age. An early career in commercial illustration led to Warhol's appropriation of imagery from American popular culture and insistent concern with the superficial wonder of permanent commodification that yielded a synthesis of word and image, of art and the everyday. Warhol's obsession with creating slick, seemingly mass-produced artworks led him towards the commercial technique of screenprinting, which allowed him to produce large editions of his painted subjects. The clean, mechanical surface and perfect registration of the screenprinting process afforded Warhol a revolutionary absence of authorship that was crucial to the Pop Art manifesto. View More Works
