Andy Warhol Silk Screen on Canvas

Updated September 8, 2026

Title: Self-Portrait against Yellow Technique: Silkscreen ink on canvas Measures: 20 x 16 inches (50.8 x 40.6 cm) Year: Undated Condition: Good condition. The surface presents strong coloration and clearly defined screenprinted passages. Minor variations in ink application, light surface wear, and handling marks consistent with the medium and display may be present. The canvas appears stable and display-ready, retaining its sharp contrasts and overall visual impact. Provenance: From a private collection in New York. Reportedly acquired with a group of Pop Art works during the 1990s and subsequently retained in the same collection. No supporting acquisition records accompanied the work upon consignment. This provenance reflects the ownership history supplied when the artwork was received for cataloging. Visual Description: This frontal portrait depicts Andy Warhol gazing upward against an intense yellow background. The face and clothing are reduced to sharply contrasting areas of pale gray, black, and dark gray, producing the flattened appearance of a mechanically reproduced photograph. The tight cropping, simplified tonal separation, and saturated monochromatic background create a direct and iconic image. Its repetition-ready photographic treatment and bold commercial palette recall the portraiture and self-imaging practices central to Warhol’s Pop Art vocabulary. This composition reflects stylistic elements commonly associated with major figures in modern and contemporary art.
