Einstein

1980

This screenprint of Albert Einstein belongs to Andy Warhol's celebrated *Ten Portraits of Jews of the Twentieth Century* series (1980), a cornerstone of his late portrait work. Rendered in a restrained grayscale palette with Warhol's signature layering of photographic imagery and gestural line drawing, the composition is bisected by a bold diagonal geometric overlay that disrupts the iconic face—a quintessential Pop Art meditation on fame, intellect, and image reproduction. The series represents Warhol's sophisticated engagement with cultural mythology and identity, and Einstein prints from this portfolio remain highly sought after at auction, consistently commanding strong prices as both standalone works and within the complete suite.
