Although the photograph was taken during Warhol's lifetime, this limited edition was posthumously released in 1989 by Halsman’s widow.

Professionally framed, mounted floating in a custom-made, acid-free passe-partout and presented in a deep, handcrafted black wooden frame, made in the Netherlands, with Plexiglas® Optical HC for visual clarity and protection of the delicate print. 
Size framed : approx. 52 x 62 cm 

The portrait reveals Warhol in dramatic multicolor lighting, highlighting the theatricality, ambiguity, and calculated detachment that defined both the artist and his carefully cultivated image. Halsman's distinctive photographic style—renowned for its psychological depth and surrealist flair—brings out the stark contrasts of Warhol’s public persona.


Philippe Halsman (1906–1979) was one of the most influential portrait photographers of the 20th century, celebrated for his collaborations with Salvador Dalí, Marilyn Monroe, and Albert Einstein. His work regularly appeared on the cover of LIFE magazine and continues to be exhibited in major institutions worldwide.

Andy Warhol (1928–1987) was a central figure in the Pop Art movement, known for transforming everyday imagery—like soup cans and celebrities—into high art. Warhol’s fascination with fame, consumerism, and mechanical reproduction changed the trajectory of contemporary art and established him as one of the most influential artists of the modern era.
