Description

Few collaborations capture the intersection of art, music, and celebrity quite like Andy Warhol’s celebrated Mick Jagger series of 1975. Bringing together two of the most recognizable cultural figures of the twentieth century, the portfolio embodies Warhol’s fascination with fame, glamour, and the manufactured image.

Created from photographs Warhol took of Jagger, the series consists of ten distinct compositions, each transforming the Rolling Stones frontman through bold color, photographic imagery, and expressive graphic overlays.

This particularly striking example, catalogued as Feldman & Schellmann II.142, juxtaposes Jagger’s unmistakable features against dramatic passages of deep blue, ochre, charcoal, and soft gray. The interplay between photographic realism and gestural linework creates a portrait that feels simultaneously intimate and theatrical, capturing both Jagger’s magnetic personality and Warhol’s distinctive visual language.

Unlike many of Warhol’s celebrity portraits, the Mick Jagger prints were hand-signed by both artist and subject, adding a remarkable dimension to this historic collaboration.

Today, the Mick Jagger portfolio remains among Warhol’s most celebrated bodies of graphic work, appealing equally to collectors of Pop Art, contemporary culture, and rock ‘n’ roll history.
