Published in 1985, Andy Warhol’s print showcases the distinguished monarch: Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom
In this print, Warhol reimagines Queen Elizabeth II not as a reigning monarch but as a Pop Art icon, similar to his portrayals of other celebrities like Liz Taylor and Marilyn Monroe. Warhol famously declared, "I want to be as famous as the Queen of England," reflecting his fascination with fame and celebrity culture. Before acquiring this series, Queen Elizabeth did not own a single portrait of herself that she had not personally posed for. Warhol used a photograph taken by Peter Grugeon in 1975, from her Silver Jubilee in 1977. This photograph, widely reproduced on stamps and coins, resonates with Warhol’s interest in mass production and consumer culture. The print portrays Queen Elizabeth smiling against a deep blue background, dressed in green with an orange sash. Bold colour blocks, reminiscent of his Ladies and Gentlemen series, add to the Pop Art effect. As her hair fades into the background, the viewer's attention is drawn to her striking, pale face. This screenprint stands as a powerful symbol of female authority, presenting a grand, Pop Art interpretation of the queen.
The ‘Royal Edition’ of each print incorporates diamond dust to accentuate the opulence and prestige of the subjects.
