Meaning & Analysis
Mick Jagger (F. & S. II.139) is a 1975 screenprint by Andy Warhol from his ten-print Mick Jagger portfolio, presenting the Rolling Stones frontman in a close-up portrait built from layered colour fields and photographic elements on white paper. The work is signed by both Warhol and Jagger and is from a signed edition of 250.
Warhol and Mick Jagger had moved in overlapping cultural circles since the late 1960s, the 1975 portfolio formalised their connection in print form. The ten-print Mick Jagger series was produced from Polaroid photographs Warhol took of the singer, translating the sessions into a highly worked set of screenprints in which photography, colour, and ink drawing were combined with unusual complexity.
Mick Jagger (F. & S. II.139) layers gold, terracotta, and deep pink fields beneath the photographic portrait, overlapping shapes with rough, torn-paper edges giving the composition a collaged quality unlike the cleaner graphic work of Warhol's more conventional celebrity portraits. Black ink drawing runs across the surface, describing facial features in some areas and operating independently of the photographic layer in others. The face — rendered in gold — is half-obscured by a large flat black form on the left side, the work deliberately fragmenting the recognisable image rather than presenting it whole.
Both Warhol and Jagger signed the edition, a dual authentication that frames the work as a collaborative document as much as a portrait. The edition of 250 kept the portfolio selectively available. Prints from the Mick Jagger series have sustained strong secondary market interest since publication.
