Andy Warhol 1970

Alice Neel's 1970 portrait of Andy Warhol, a prominent Pop Art figure, depicts him seated on a couch, partially clothed, showcasing a surgical scar across his chest. Neel was known for her expressive, often raw, style in portraiture, which captured the essence of her subjects, and her work is now part of the Whitney Museum of American Art's collection in New York. This painting captures Warhol in a moment of vulnerability and introspection, a stark contrast to his public persona as a pop culture icon.
