    BACK TO: MICK JAGGER SERIES
     

    Andy Warhol’s Mick Jagger (F. & S. II.147), 1975, presents a more composed and introspective image within the Mick Jagger series. The portrait is centred on Jagger’s face and hands, rendered through a combination of photographic detail and fine line drawing. Warhol overlays geometric planes of grey and black across the composition, intersected by a striking gold vertical band that divides the face, creating a strong sense of structure and balance.

     

    The inclusion of Jagger’s hands introduces a quieter, more contemplative tone, contrasting with the more fragmented and energetic compositions found elsewhere in the series. 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 work stands out for its controlled composition and layered depth, highlighting Warhol’s ability to vary tone and intensity within a unified portfolio.

    - Andy Warhol

    Andy Warhol’s view of celebrity was rooted in surface, visibility, and the power of image, particularly within the context of Hollywood and mass media. He was drawn to figures who existed in the public eye, not for their private identity but for their constructed personas, shaped through photography, film, and publicity. Central to this was his fascination with beauty, which he treated as something both aspirational and artificial. In works featuring Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, and Mick Jagger, Warhol emphasised flawless features, bold colour, and repetition, elevating physical appearance into a form of visual currency.
