Andy Warhol Possibly 1983 - 1990

The artist Andy Warhol is pictured from his shoulders up in this black and white portrait photograph by Robert Mapplethorpe. Warhol stands with his back against a white wall perpendicular to the picture plane, turning his head to the right in three-quarter profile to face the camera. He wears a polo neck jumper underneath a black suit jacket, and his customary poker-straight white wig, which has flyaway hairs sticking out in all directions. Warhol’s expression is apathetic, although his eyes are fixed on the camera and his lips are slightly parted.
