Portraiture and self-portraiture are common subjects in Warhol´s work, and his silkscreens from snapshots of Chairman Mao, Elizabeth Taylor, and Marilyn Monroe became iconic images. Ultimately, Warhol´s greatest artwork was perhaps his own celebrity—he made his face as familiar as the idols of mass culture.
Gift of the Charles Engelhard Foundation in honor of Linda L. Cathcart, Director of the Comtemporary Arts Museum from 1979-1987
