Background
The portfolio resulted from the friendship between Warhol and Jagger, who first met in 1964. Warhol photographed Jagger in a series of Polaroids, which then served as the basis for the ten screenprints. The artwork uses a collage-like technique, combining photographic elements, hand-drawn lines, and blocks of opaque color to create a dynamic portrayal of the rock star's persona. |
