Celebrity Portrait: Jackie Kennedy
Like most of his celebrity portraits, Warhol produced several paintings in his 1964 Jackie series. Red Jackie has
very similar coloring to Warhol’s other Pop Art portraits. Sixteen Jackies, however, shows a rare subtle side to Warhol.
After the assassination of her husband John F. Kennedy, Warhol began collecting pictures of Jackie, and thus, printed the
blue and gold portrait of the First Lady. Sixteen Jackies sold at auction for $20.24 million, including commission, in 2011.
