★★★ Background: Two Icons of the 1960s and 1970s Andy Warhol (1928–1987) – American Pop Art artist – Famous for his serigraphs (silkscreens), his New York Factory, and his experiments with film, photography, and celebrity – Strongly engaged with the cult of stars, consumerism, and mass media Mick Jagger (born 1943) – Lead singer of the Rolling Stones – One of the most influential figures in rock music – Embodied the new image of the rebellious, excessive pop star These two figures stood like few others for the cultural explosion of the ’60s and ’70s—Warhol for the visual arts, Jagger for music. ★★★ First Encounter and Friendship Warhol and Jagger met in the late 1960s New York club scene, particularly around: Max’s Kansas City, a hotspot for artists and celebrities Warhol’s Factory, where musicians, artists, models, and avant-garde personalities gathered The two bonded over shared interests in: Celebrity culture Boundary-pushing (breaking taboos and exploring new forms of expression) Style, fashion, and youth culture Performance art and early music-video experimentation (Warhol worked with video long before it became mainstream) Warhol was fascinated by rock stars as modern icons. Jagger, in turn, recognized the power of Warhol’s visual strategies. ★★★ The Famous Collaboration: Portfolio of Mick Jagger (1975) One of their most notable collaborations is the series of 10 large-scale silkscreens and drawings Warhol created of Jagger in 1975. Characteristics of the series: Large portraits—some explosively colorful, others more graphic and reduced Jagger in various poses: serious, expressive, seductive Combination of photography, silkscreen, collage, pencil, and marker Strong focus on Jagger’s iconic presence Expression of movement, restlessness, and stage charisma Warhol used Jagger’s face as a kind of “brand”—fully in line with his philosophy that pop stars are the modern equivalent of trademarks. These works are now among the most famous musician portraits in modern art. ★★★Personal Relationship and Dynamic Warhol was deeply impressed by Jagger: “He is the perfect modern icon—elegant, dangerous, sexy,” Warhol wrote in his diary (paraphrased). Jagger, on the other hand, saw Warhol as: A pioneering artist A public figure who understood the mechanisms of media A friend who cared little for conventional boundaries Their relationship was often: Playful Mutually beneficial Marked by glamour, excess, and artistic curiosity Warhol frequently photographed the Rolling Stones backstage and at parties; Jagger visited the Factory multiple times. ★★★Their Influence on Art and Pop Culture The connection between Warhol and Jagger is seen today as symbolic of a new era: Art and music became more intertwined Stars began to be perceived as “brands” Portraits of musicians developed into a distinct art-historical genre Warhol helped introduce rock ’n’ roll into the realm of high art Jagger increasingly used visual art for self-presentation Both showed that pop culture is not trivial—but a key reflection of social change. ★★★Legacy Warhol’s Jagger portraits are now high-value collector’s items They are displayed in major museums (MoMA, Tate, National Gallery of Australia, etc.) Jagger has repeatedly praised Warhol as a “visionary” Their collaboration is considered one of the most important encounters between Pop Art and rock music ★★★ Comes with 1977 Original Post-Card MOMA NY Dimension: 40 X 43 X 5,5 CM ★★★ Attention . it´s “naturally not an original signature by Andy Warhol” Condition: Frame & Plexy - Naer Mint more Mint Wonderful / Near Mint (wonderful) Insde of the Gold paint left a small spot (see pictures) Litho / Mint Wonderful Postcard / Mint Please understand that there are individual differences in perception ★★★ “A beautiful creation born from the brilliance of two extraordinary artists.” For Collectors ★★★ ★★★ You will receive all of your valuable auctions in a special-box so that nothing can happen to your Item during transport (see pictures) ★★★ Every week we have many interesting Collector LPs/CD´s...Memorabilia’s ...on offer, just go to the following button and you will see all our offers.
