More information
Warhols fascination för berömmelse och kändisskap gjorde inte bara ett avtryck i hans konst, utan även i hans livsstil. Från 1960-talet och framåt rörde han sig i New Yorks innersta kändiskretsar och umgicks med stjärnor som Bill Murray och John Lennon. Särskilt uppmärksammad blev vänskapen med Mick Jagger. Warhol tillbringade mycket tid tillsammans med Jagger och hans dåvarande fru Bianca, och deras relation – ofta omskriven i biografier och artiklar – fick stor medial uppmärksamhet och kom att symbolisera 1970-talets mytomspunna jetsetliv.
När Jagger anlitade Warhol för att formge Rolling Stones ikoniska album "Sticky Fingers" år 1971 fick han full konstnärlig frihet. Resultatet blev en närbild av Joe Dallesandros skrev i jeans, en bild som kom att definiera bandets laddade sexappeal och vilja att tänja på gränser.
Det konstnärliga samarbetet mellan Warhol och Jagger fortsatte och 1975 gav Warhol ut en portfölj med tio silkscreentryck baserade på fotografier han själv tagit av Jagger. Unikt för denna serie av motiv var att inte bara Warhol signerade de färdiga verken, utan även Mick Jagger själv. De räknas fortfarande som en av hans mest kända och eftertraktade skildringar av celebriteter. Liksom omslaget till Sticky Fingers fångar verken essensen av två av sin tids mest inflytelserika kreativa personligheter.
More about Andy Warhol
American artist, printmaker, and filmmaker. He studied at the Carnegie Institute of Technology from 1945 to 1949 and began his career as an art director for the magazines Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. His success in the advertising industry led to the Art Directors Club Medal in 1957.
Warhol is considered one of the leading figures of Pop Art. His artistic practice consists largely of portraits, often of well-known individuals, executed in silkscreen technique. He also worked with reproduced documentary images as well as installations in which everyday consumer objects, such as packaging, were given a central role. The underlying idea was that beauty and energy can be found everywhere in modern society, even in things often regarded as banal. As a result, detergent boxes and soup cans became artistic motifs. Campbell’s soup cans and Brillo boxes were transformed through his work into some of the most iconic artworks of the 20th century.
From 1963 onward, he produced and participated in a large number of films in his own studio, The Factory, which simultaneously developed into an important meeting place for New York’s artistic and bohemian scene. Warhol continuously documented his surroundings with a film camera and later also a Polaroid camera. In his so-called Screen Tests, he filmed a number of internationally known figures, including Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan, Marcel Duchamp, and Salvador Dalí. According to his will, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts was established in New York in 1987, and in 1994 The Andy Warhol Museum opened in Pittsburgh.
