    Meaning & History
    One of Warhol’s most recognised self-portraits, this screenprint was created for an exhibition at the Kunsthaus in Zurich, Switzerland’s largest museum, where it was pasted onto the walls.

    Self Portrait is a large-scale screenprint on wallpaper published by the artist in 1978. It is the artist’s seventh wallpaper, similar in style to Warhol’s Mao 1974. 

    One of Warhol’s most recognised self-portraits, the work was created for an exhibition at the Kunsthaus in Zurich, Switzerland’s largest museum, where it was pasted onto the walls. Warhol’s use of the wallpaper medium de-frames his art and points to the slippage of high art and low art.  

    Warhol often chose photographs to take self-portraits, yet here he has sketched himself, giving the portrait a much more introspective appearance. The artist had a reputation for superficiality and artifice which he capitalised upon, yet behind this larger than life image was an often shy character from humble beginnings.  

    Warhol often saw himself as much as an artwork as the works that he produced. Warhol uses his images in Self-portrait as well as in The Shadow from The Myths Series blurring the lines between subject and object, creator and creation. Explore Andy Warhol prints for sale.
