Color printed reproduction of Warhol's Albert Einstein portrait from 'Ten Images of Jews of the Twentieth Century', boldly signed in black marker by the artist across the image. Wi th significant paper skinning losses and stains from prior mounting, small creases, now stabilized on verso with archival document repair tape and otherwise fine. 5.4 x 7 inches. The present work, a reproduction of Warhol's silkscreened rendering of Albert Einstein, simultaneously captures the inquisitive essence of the famed physicist and exemplifies Warhol’s preoccupation with the historicizing of genius, its encapsulation and reproduction. As someone who existed in the nexus of space, time, and fame Albert Einstein was a perfectly fitting subject for Warhol. This body of work exemplifies the artist’s lifelong project of canonizing illustrious figures in history who have informed culture and impacted public consciousness. His portrait of Einstein is particularly compelling for both its subject and flawless execution. Show more
