    Andy Warhol Portraits of the Artists (F & S II.17)

    Portraits of the Artists is a dynamic 1967 installation by Andy Warhol composed of one hundred polystyrene boxes printed in ten vivid colours. Each row features the repeated portrait of a different contemporary artist, including Roy Lichtenstein, Frank Stella, and Warhol himself. Combining portraiture with serial repetition, the work reflects key elements of Warhol’s Pop Art practice. At once sculptural and graphic, the stacked boxes transform individual likenesses into a bold, immersive field of colour and pattern. The installation highlights Warhol’s close ties to the New York art scene and his dialogue with fellow pioneers of modern art.

  • About Andy Warhol Portraits of the Artists

    Created in 1967, Portraits of the Artists exemplifies Andy Warhol’s fascination with repetition, celebrity, and vivid colour. The work consists of one hundred polystyrene boxes arranged in a grid, each printed with a silkscreened portrait. Organised into ten colour groupings, every horizontal line presents a different artist, including leading figures such as Roy Lichtenstein and Frank Stella, alongside Warhol himself. The repetition of faces across sculptural forms blurs distinctions between painting, print, and object, reinforcing Warhol’s interest in mass production and serial imagery. The installation also serves as an homage to Warhol’s artistic community and his place within the avant-garde circles of 1960s New York, particularly the influential Leo Castelli Gallery. Through this work, Warhol situates himself within a lineage of modern masters while redefining portraiture for the Pop Art era.
