Meaning & Analysis

Warhol produced two prints of Sachiko, both of which are rendered in a similar style. The artist superimposes multi-coloured squares over the woman’s portrait, dividing the composition into four unequal parts. In this print, pink, orange and turquoise blocks are laid over Sachiko’s image. Laid over a black and white portrait, these vibrant, contrasting colours accentuate Sachiko’s facial features and bring a playful feel to the print.

Warhol found fame, wealth and celebrity culture fascinating and would often socialise with celebrities, artists and art collectors. The Sachiko collection reflects how Warhol was inundated with requests from socialites, musicians and film stars for portraits in his characteristic Pop Art style. Celebrity commissions were an important aspect of Warhol’s artistic output and later in his career became his main source of profit.

  • 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.
