    Andy Warhol’s Mick Jagger (F. & S. II.138), 1975, is an example from the Mick Jagger portfolio, combining photographic source imagery with Warhol’s signature linear mark-making. The composition layers gestural black line over a fragmented portrait, intersected by blocks of muted blue-grey that disrupt and reframe Jagger’s features. This interplay between drawing and screenprint creates a sense of movement and immediacy, capturing both the energy of the subject and Warhol’s experimental approach to image construction during the mid-1970s.

     

    Produced in an edition of 250, with additional artist’s proofs, impressions of Mick Jagger (F. & S. II.138) are typically signed by both Mick Jagger and Andy Warhol, bringing together the worlds of celebrity, art, and music. As part of one of Warhol’s most iconic portrait portfolios, the work reflects his ability to translate a cultural figure into a powerful visual image, capturing the intersection of fame and artistic expression that defined his practice.

    - Andy Warhol
    Andy Warhol’s Mick Jagger series, created in 1975, is a defining example of his exploration of celebrity and image-making. Focusing on the Rolling Stones’ frontman, Warhol worked from photographic source material to produce a portfolio of screenprints that combine loose, expressive line with bold areas of colour. The result is a set of portraits that feel both constructed and immediate, capturing Jagger’s presence while emphasising the idea of fame as something stylised and repeatable.
