ANDY WARHOL - Lot 190
ANDY WARHOL Wrapped in the US Flag… 1990. Photo by Christopher Makos, vintage RC print, for the press upon the release of Chuck Workman’s film “Superstar,” captioned below the image, blank reverse. 25.3 x 20.3 cm including borders. Note: This photograph, taken by Christopher Makos in 1990, depicts Andy Warhol wrapped in the American flag—an image that has become one of the photographer’s most famous. A close friend and collaborator of Warhol’s for many years, Makos created some of the artist’s most iconic portraits, capturing both his public persona and his creative world. This print was released to coincide with the premiere of Chuck Workman’s film *Superstar*, a documentary dedicated to the life and influence of the founder of Pop Art. The composition pairing Warhol with the American flag references central themes in his work, notably mass culture, national symbols, the media, and celebrity. This piece thus serves as a striking testament to the public image of one of the 20th century’s most influential artists and to the development of his legend in the years following his death.
