Andy Warhol Acrylic on canvas

Updated October 15, 2026

Title: Two Portraits in Black and White Reversal Technique: Acrylic on canvas Measures: 18 x 28 inches (approximately 45.7 x 71.1 cm) Year: 1985 Condition: Appears in good overall condition. The surface displays strong tonal contrast, crisp white silhouettes, and a visible canvas weave beneath the dark ground. Minor surface wear, scattered rubbing, and age-related imperfections may be present. Presented in a white frame with a rounded molding profile. Condition is described from the photographs supplied. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the condition description. Provenance: Private collection, Berlin; reportedly in private ownership since the late 2000s. Specific acquisition details were not provided. Visual Description: A bold Pop Art-inspired composition presenting the same glamorous female portrait twice, side by side, in a stark black and white reversal. The features appear as white highlights against a deep black ground: arched brows, heavy-lidded eyes, a beauty mark, softly curled hair, and an open-lipped smile. The repetition of the image, combined with the negative treatment of light and shadow, transforms the familiar face into a graphic, almost spectral icon. Subtle irregularities in the dark ground lend the surface a printed, mechanical quality. Rendered in the Pop Art style of Andy Warhol, the work emphasizes repetition, celebrity imagery, and the reproduction of the image, recalling the artist’s celebrated Reversal Series of the late 1970s and 1980s. This composition reflects stylistic elements commonly associated with major figures in modern and contemporary art.
