From June 9 to October 6 this year, a major exhibition at the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin celebrated Warhol"s Pop Art portraits. [CH]. • In 2019, the New York Academy of Art presented an exhibition of his drawings entitled “Andy Warhol: By Hand,” which drew increased attention to the medium .
• The star of American Pop Art portrays an icon of world literature. • His portraits of celebrities are among Andy Warhol"s most famous works. • Warhol based the present portrait on J. H. W. Tischbein"s 1787 painting on display at the Städel Museum. He became acquainted with the painting on a visit to Frankfurt in 1980. • Warhol rendered the motif with clear, bold lines in an almost life-size drawing. • Intentional rather than spontaneous: The drawing does not have the fleeting quality of a swiftly jotted sketch. Instead, it results from an intensive examination of Warhol"s artistic ideas. • He would later work with the motif in large-format depictions on canvas and a famous series of serigraphs.
