    Andy Warhol Edward Kennedy (F & S II.240)

     Edward Kennedy is a screenprint by Andy Warhol portraying Edward Kennedy, Democratic senator and prominent member of the Kennedy family. Produced as part of Warhol’s engagement with political portraiture, the work reflects the artist’s fascination with figures who occupied the intersection of media, power, and celebrity. Created to raise funds for the Democratic campaign and originally distributed to donors, the print is comparatively rare. It exemplifies Warhol’s continued exploration of how political identity is shaped, circulated, and immortalised through visual culture.

  • About Andy Warhol Edward Kennedy

    In this portrait, Edward Kennedy appears serious and unsmiling, dressed in formal attire that underscores his political authority. Unlike some of Warhol’s more flamboyant celebrity portraits, the composition conveys sobriety and gravitas, aligning with Kennedy’s stature within American politics. The work forms part of a broader group of commissioned portraits of political figures, including Jimmy Carter and George McGovern. Kennedy’s familial legacy adds further resonance: Warhol had previously depicted Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and created works responding to the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Through such portraits, Warhol examined the saturation, reverence, and media mythology surrounding modern political dynasties, revealing how public figures function simultaneously as leaders and icons.
