    BACK TO: MICK JAGGER SERIES

    Andy Warhol’s Mick Jagger (F. & S. II.145), 1975, is a layered and fragmented composition that exemplifies the experimental nature of the Mick Jagger series. Warhol combines photographic detail with gestural line drawing, partially obscuring Jagger’s face beneath horizontal bands of black and blocks of muted green and pink. The composition is structured through overlapping planes, creating a sense of interruption and reassembly that reflects Warhol’s approach to image construction during this period.
     
    The work balances clarity and distortion, with Jagger’s features emerging through the layered surface while remaining disrupted by colour and form. Produced as a screenprint in an edition of 250, with additional artist’s proofs, impressions are typically signed by both Mick Jagger and Andy Warhol. This composition stands out within the series for its strong horizontal structure and restrained palette, reinforcing the tension between photographic realism and abstraction that defines the portfolio.
  • "Mick brings out the bisexuality in men who normally would not be like that."

     
    - Andy Warhol
    Andy Warhol and Mick Jagger’s relationship was built on mutual recognition of each other’s cultural influence, developing from their first meeting in 1964 into a lasting friendship that bridged art and music. Jagger became a regular presence at Warhol’s Factory, where the boundaries between creative disciplines were deliberately blurred, and where Warhol observed firsthand the construction of celebrity within popular culture. By the mid-1970s, this connection evolved into a direct collaboration, with Jagger allowing Warhol to use his image as the basis for the Mick Jagger portfolio.
