Original Mick Jagger Print by Andy Warhol
Mick Jagger 146 by Andy Warhol is one of the artist’s most famous portraits. Completed in 1975, Mick Jagger 146 is one of ten screen prints from Andy Warhol’s Mick Jagger portfolio. This series captures the famous rock star in a variety of angles, each of which shows a different side of Jagger. Similar to Warhol’s other portraits, such as his Reigning Queens series and his iconic images of Marilyn Monroe, the Mick Jagger portfolio presents the same repetitive style.
In this particular print, Mick Jagger stares back at the viewer with a straight face. This image presents a serious side of the rock star, a more intimate version of himself. Unlike many of his other portraits, Warhol used a minimal amount of color when creating this piece. In Mick Jagger 146, white, black, and gold are the only present colors.
