Mick Jagger created by the pop artist Andy Warhol in 1975. This work is part of a portfolio of ten screenprints that Warhol created based on Polaroid photographs he took of Jagger.
Details of the Artwork
Artist: Andy Warhol (American, 1928–1987)
Subject: Mick Jagger (English, 1943–), the lead singer and a founding member of the rock band The Rolling Stones
Year: 1975
Medium: Color screenprint on Arches Aquarelle (rough) paper, featuring hand-drawn elements and solid abstract color shapes
Series: The Mick Jagger portfolio, which consists of ten different images (catalogued as FS II.138–147)
Signatures: Original prints in the limited edition of 250 are typically signed in pencil by Warhol in the lower right margin and also signed in felt-tip pen by Mick Jagger in the lower left margin.
Context: Warhol and Jagger met in 1964 and collaborated on the iconic zipper cover for the Rolling Stones' 1971 album Sticky Fingers. The series captures Jagger's androgynous appeal and bad-boy persona, embodying the intersection of pop art and rock and roll culture in the 1970s. |
