Warhol Roy Halston- Fashion Designer Lithograph

Limited Edition 86/200

Archival Lithograph

1979

Andy Warhol's 1979 lithograph of Roy Halston, the renowned American fashion designer, is a significant work within Warhol’s series of celebrity portraits. Halston, known for his minimalist and elegant designs, was a key figure in fashion during the 1970s and 1980s, making him a fitting subject for Warhol's exploration of the intersection between art and fashion.

The archival lithograph features Warhol’s signature style: a combination of bold colors, striking contrasts, and a focus on the subject’s most recognizable features. Warhol’s use of the lithographic medium in this work allows for a smooth, graphic quality that emphasizes the glossy, larger-than-life aspect of public persona. The print reflects Warhol’s interest in the interplay between the public and private selves of celebrities, capturing the enigmatic presence in a way that both venerates and distills his image.
