Double Elvis
1963
This iconic work from Andy Warhol's Death and Disaster series features a doubled image of Elvis Presley in his gunslinger pose from the 1960 Western film Flaming Star. The silvery, ghosted repetition creates a cinematic effect that reflects Warhol's fascination with celebrity, mass media, and the American mythos. As one of Warhol's most celebrated Pop Art images, Double Elvis exemplifies his revolutionary approach to transforming commercial imagery into fine art. The work's monumental scale and haunting quality have made it one of the most sought-after pieces in contemporary art.
