"Mick Jagger II.41" by Warhol

Mick Jagger (F. & S. II.141) depicts the rockstar and Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger. When Bianca and Mick Jagger stayed with Warhol at his Montauk home in 1975, he snapped the polaroid photo used in this screen print. Jagger poses shirtless for the photo. For this edition of 250, Warhol retained only the shading around Jagger’s lips and eyebrows, preferring to draw on his eyes and nose. In this particular image, Warhol has highlighted the singer’s lips in pink, drawing attention to Jagger’s most famous feature and making it unique in the larger series Mick Jagger.
