Meaning & Analysis
Andy Warhol’s 1975 signed screen print features the British rocker and Rolling Stones lead Mick Jagger. In this edition of 250, the singer’s portrait is printed on Arches Aquarelle paper with added outlining and colour blocking. Warhol produced this edition as part of the series Mick Jagger, which features 10 images of the singer.
Andy Warhol’s Mick Jagger (F. & S. II.138) depicts the Rolling Stones lead singer and rock star Mick Jagger in three-quarters portrait. To create the screen print, Warhol layered a photograph of Jagger with his own drawn in outlines to define nose, eye, and body, and green and grey colour blocks over his face. From an edition of 250, this 1975 print on Arches Aquarelle paper features the signature of Warhol at the bottom right and of Jagger at the bottom left.
Mick Jagger (F. & S. II.138) comes from the larger portfolio Mick Jagger. Warhol captured the rock star with several polaroid photos while Jagger stayed at his Montauk estate. In producing this portfolio of ten screen prints from the portraits, Warhol created one of his most valuable series at the peak of his and Jagger’s fame. This edition notably emphasises Jagger’s eye with outlining rather than his famous lips. The pair met in 1963 and subsequently collaborated on the Rolling Stones’ 1971 album, for which Warhol designed the cover. The Mick Jagger series could be described as the pinnacle of Warhol’s obsession with celebrity, produced at the height of the Rolling Stones’ fame and featuring the signature of Jagger in addition to his own, proclaiming celebrity as author of his own image.
Andy Warhol was a leading figure of the Pop Art movement and is often considered the father of Pop Art. Born in 1928, Warhol allowed cultural references of the 20th century to drive his work. From the depiction of glamorous public figures, such as Marilyn Monroe, to the everyday Campbell’s Soup Can, the artist challenged what was considered art by blurring the boundaries between high art and mass consumerism. Warhol's preferred screen printing technique further reiterated his obsession with mass culture, enabling art to be seen as somewhat of a commodity through the reproduced images in multiple colour ways.
