Andy Warhol — Mildred Scheel (F. & S. 238)
Andy Warhol

Mildred Scheel (F. & S. 238)

"Mildred Scheel" is a portrait screenprint created by Andy Warhol using his signature technique of combining photographic imagery with vibrant color separations, enriched here by the addition of diamond dust for heightened luminosity and tactile surface variation. The work exemplifies Warhol's approach to celebrity portraiture and his exploration of mass production aesthetics through the screenprint medium, while the diamond dust application reflects his engagement with precious materials and the commodification of art. Printed on Arches 88 paper, a high quality archival substrate, the full sheet presentation preserves the artist's compositional choices and enhances the work's presence as a unique object despite its reproducible process.

Medium
Screenprint in colours with diamond dust, on Arches 88 paper, the full sheet.
