Produced by Rosenthal as an officially licensed reproduction of Warhol’s artwork, this numbered edition (23/49) uses silkscreen enamel on porcelain. Red, black, and royal blue define the composition, giving the portrait its bold graphic character.

Portraiture was central to Warhol’s exploration of how people are represented and recognised through mass media.Treating a portrait solely as a likeness of an individual, he emphasised the photograph as an image that could be reproduced, altered through colour, and circulated repeatedly. This approach connected traditional portraiture with the visual culture of publicity photographs, magazines, and celebrity photography. The work reflects Warhol’s interest in the ways an image can acquire a public identity of its own. Labeled by Maker,Stamped by Maker,Imprinted by Maker,Labeled with Country of Origin,Numbered See less
