Lot description
Andy Warhol’s rare and dynamic “Self-Portrait,” captures the artist’s head from multiple perspectives, creating a sense of movement in slow motion.

In this excellently preserved and rare piece, created ten years before his death, the artist who came to embody and define the Pop Art Movement becomes the subject himself.

Andy Warhol (1928-1987), is widely credited as one of the most significant artists of the 20th century. After studying design at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, Warhol moved to New York in 1949 to pursue a career as a commercial artist. Though successful, Warhol wanted to be an independent painter and in the early 1960s began to create paintings based on advertising imagery. He built his studio called "The Factory" and developed his signature style, which employed commercial silkscreening techniques to create identical, mass-produced images on canvas. With his multiple images of soup cans, soda bottles, dollar bills and celebrities, Warhol revealed the beauty within mass culture and redefined the art world.
