Jacqueline Kennedy II (Jackie II), from 11 Pop Artists II

This 1966 screenprint is a quintessential example from Warhol's iconic Jackie series, depicting Jacqueline Kennedy in a somber, grief-stricken moment following the assassination, rendered as a doubled image in muted lavender and black. Part of the important *11 Pop Artists II* portfolio published by Original Editions, it exemplifies Warhol's masterful fusion of mass media imagery, seriality, and silkscreen technique to transform private tragedy into public spectacle. The repetition of the image—slightly shifted in registration—underscores Warhol's central thesis on the numbing effect of media saturation, while the delicate mauve palette lends an unexpected tenderness to an otherwise detached mechanical process. As one of Warhol's most historically significant and widely exhibited print series, the Jackie prints remain highly sought after by collectors for their intersection of American political history and Pop Art's radical reimagining of portraiture.
