Description

Warhol's ten-part 1975 take on Mick Jagger

Highly sought-after complete ten postcard set of Andy Warhol's Mick Jagger screenprint series from 1975, each 4 x 6.25, each signed on the front in black felt tip by Warhol. Reverse of each card is numbered 1-10. Includes the original Multiples Inc./Castelli Graphics folder, advertising the forthcoming Seabird Editions prints of these portraits, which were released in a limited edition of 250. In overall fine condition. Having first met in 1963, Andy Warhol and Mick Jagger formed a working relationship during the height of their fame in the early 1970s. Consisting of ten photos he had taken of the Rolling Stones frontman, the series of screen prints vividly represented Warhol's stylistic shift from found imagery to a more 'handmade' approach, paying tribute to his friend and subject with neutral tones, bursts of color, and a marked focus on Jagger's sex appeal and rock star persona. A highly desirable and seldom-offered collection.
