Provenance: Private collection, Sweden, thence to our consignor. Comment(s): Warhol had a joint exhibition with the German-born photographer Hans Namuth (1915-1990) at New York’s Castelli Gallery from January 9th to the 30th, 1982. Namuth specialized in portraits and is most famous for his photographs of Jackson Pollock creating his iconic drip paintings. This portrait of Warhol is part of Namuth’s project to photograph the artists represented by Castelli. It shows Warhol standing in front of Rubens’s painting ‘Reconciliation of the Queen and her Son’, which was part of his Marie de Medici Cycle. Rubens was famous for painting the celebrities of his day, providing them with an image to bolster their power. Warhol did the same with his pop portraits; indeed Robert Rosenblum described him as “an ideal court painter”. Rubens also employed a large studio of assistants which is paralleled in Warhol’s ‘Factory.’ An impression of this work is included in the collection of the National Galleries of Scotland, accession no. AR00437. Image copyright © The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York / DACS, London; and image copyright © Estate of Hans Namuth. [29234-5-800]
