Andy Warhol — Jackie Kennedy For Sale

Andy Warhol — Jackie Kennedy

Andy Warhol's Jackie series is among the earliest and most emotionally resonant bodies of work in his career. Made in the months following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in November 1963, the works are built from press photographs of Jacqueline Kennedy taken in the days around the tragedy — at the swearing-in of Lyndon Johnson aboard Air Force One, in mourning at the funeral, and composed before the cameras of the world's press.

Cropping and re-photographing these images onto silkscreen, Warhol turned a private moment of grief into a study of how the media shapes public memory. Repeated and reframed, the same face shifts between sorrow and stoicism, intimacy and icon — a portrait of a nation processing loss through the lens of celebrity.

Produced in a range of formats, from the small-scale silkscreen paintings of 1964 to later signed editions, the Jackie works remain among the most historically significant of Warhol's Pop portraits. Each piece offered by Guy Hepner is accompanied by full authentication documentation.
