Background Information
Warhol and Jagger first met in New York in 1964, and their creative collaboration solidified when Jagger asked Warhol to design the provocative album cover for the Rolling Stones' 1971 album, Sticky Fingers. For this print series, Warhol used a series of Polaroid photographs he took of Jagger, using bold colors, abstract shapes, and hand-drawn elements to capture different facets of the rock star's persona. The prints are notable for their combination of Warhol's signature mass-production aesthetic with hand-drawn elements, adding a layer of intimacy to the images. |
