Portraits of the Artists II.17

1967

This 1967 work exemplifies Warhol's exploration of mass production and commercial packaging aesthetics through one hundred miniature polystyrene boxes rendered in ten distinct colors. The piece extends his fascination with consumer culture and repetition beyond his famous Brillo boxes, transforming the portrait concept into an investigation of industrial reproducibility and Pop Art's democratization of artistic objects.
