Description
Created circa 1980, Joseph Beuys exemplifies Andy Warhol’s late-period portraiture and experimentation with texture and surface. The work combines his signature silkscreen technique with diamond dust, producing a sparkling, tactile effect that transforms the iconic figure into a shimmering emblem of celebrity and artistic legacy. The subject, Joseph Beuys, a pioneering German conceptual and performance artist, is rendered with Warhol’s characteristic interplay of flat imagery and glittering embellishment, emphasizing both immediacy and iconicity. This rare impression, part of a small number of prints, reflects Warhol’s interest in documenting contemporary cultural figures while merging Pop Art aesthetics with experimental materials.
Stamped by the Estate of Andy Warhol and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, and accompanied by the pencil annotation “UP 63.01,” this work is a notable example of Warhol’s innovative printmaking and his ongoing dialogue with fame, art, and media culture.
