    Andy Warhol Self-Portrait (F & S II.16)

    Self-Portrait is a seminal Andy Warhol screenprint on silver-coated paper produced in 1966 and the earliest printed edition of the artist’s self-portraits. Now considered iconic, the work offers a rare and intimate insight into Warhol’s carefully mediated public image. Based on a photograph by Rudolph Burkhardt, the portrait presents the Pop artist in stark black and white, poised between introspection and performance. As an artist preoccupied with celebrity, identity, and surface, Warhol’s Self-Portrait marks a pivotal moment in his career, establishing a visual template he would revisit and reinvent throughout the decades.

  • About Andy Warhol Andy Warhol Self Portrait

    Created in 1966, Self-Portrait captures Andy Warhol at a moment of quiet intensity. Printed on silver-coated paper, the black-and-white image depicts the artist gazing outward, his hand resting thoughtfully beneath his chin. The reflective surface enhances the sense of distance and artifice, subtly aligning the portrait with Warhol’s fascination with glamour and celebrity. Unlike later works such as Self-Portrait (Fright Wig) from 1986, where disguise and theatricality dominate, this earlier image appears more restrained and contemplative. Yet ambiguity remains: Warhol seems both vulnerable and guarded, revealing and concealing himself simultaneously. The photograph by Rudolph Burkhardt became the basis for multiple silkscreen paintings, underscoring its significance within his oeuvre. Held in major museum collections, Self-Portrait endures as one of the most recognised and psychologically complex images of the artist.
