Self-Portrait is a screenprint on silver-coated paper created by Andy Warhol in 1966. This early edition is now iconic and offers a unique glimpse into Warhol's inner world and his self-representation.
The photograph used for this print was taken by Rudolph Burkhardt. In this black-and-white image, Warhol appears both enigmatic and contemplative. His gaze meets the viewer's, but his hand placed under his chin suggests deep thought. Warhol opts for a more introspective portrayal, eschewing costume for a more authentic, though still artfully constructed, representation.
Art historian Robert Rosenblum remarked that Warhol’s self-portraits embody both vulnerability and invulnerability, superficiality and depth. This duality aligns with Warhol’s exploration of celebrity and consumerism, reflecting the fragmented nature of self-image in the 20th century.
