“If you want to know about Andy Warhol, then just look at the surface of my pictures, my movies and me, and there I am,” the artist once professed. “There’s nothing behind it.”

Emerging from slick, black lamina and shaded with graphic contours of red, white and blue camouflage, the most recognizable American artist of all time simultaneously appears and disappears in front of our eyes in ‘Self-Portrait’ from 1986. Here, Sotheby’s @the_lynx_eyed explains more.

One of the final self-portraits that Andy Warhol would create before his untimely death the following year, the work endures as his last grand artistic gesture and embodies the artist’s ultimate meditation on mortality, identity, and image: Warhol, who dedicated his career to exploring the construction of identity and the power of media, now turns to face his own mortality.

Emily Fisher Landau acquired the work the year after Warhol’s seminal 1986 exhibition at London’s Anthony d’Offay Gallery.
