About this work

Andy Warhol's Reigning Queens series is a striking collection of portraits created by the renowned artist during the 1980s. This series focuses on four influential female figures: Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, and Queen Ntombi Twala of Swaziland. Warhol's fascination with fame, celebrity, and the intersection of mass media and art is evident in these vibrant and iconic works.Each portrait in the Reigning Queens series features a bold and colorful rendition of the respective queen, portraying them in a larger-than-life manner that emphasizes their public personas. Warhol used his signature silk-screening technique, employing bright and contrasting hues to create visually striking images that simultaneously celebrate and critique the concept of celebrity.Through these portraits, Warhol explores the commodification of power, femininity, and royalty in contemporary culture. He transforms these regal figures into pop icons, challenging traditional notions of portraiture and the representation of authority. The repetition of images within the series reflects Warhol's fascination with mass production and the ubiquitous nature of fame in modern society.Warhol's Reigning Queens series serves as a commentary on the cult of personality, the blurring lines between high and popular culture, and the societal obsession with fame and image. These portraits remain a testament to Warhol's unique artistic vision and his ability to merge art, celebrity, and cultural commentary in a way that continues to captivate audiences to this day.

About the Reigning Queens Series

Reigning Queens for Sale

Andy Warhol's Reigning Queens (1985) is among the most celebrated portrait series of the 20th century — and one of the most actively traded Warhol portfolios on the global secondary market. Catalogued as FS II.334–343, the series comprises sixteen screenprints in two distinct editions: the standard edition and the prestigious Royal Edition with diamond dust.

The portfolio portrays the four reigning queens of 1985 in Warhol's signature pop idiom: Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, and Queen Ntombi Twala of Swaziland. Each monarch receives four prints — two in the standard edition, two in the Royal Edition — rendered in vivid, non-naturalistic colour palettes that transform official portraiture into something wholly new.

Edition Information

The standard edition was published in an edition of 30 per image, while the Royal Edition (with diamond dust applied over the image surface) was limited to just 30 per image. Each print measures 39⅜ × 31½ inches, printed on Lenox Museum Board. Published by George C. P. Munn and printed by Rupert Jasen Smith, New York.

Market Context

Reigning Queens has always commanded strong prices, but since Queen Elizabeth II's death in September 2022, demand for the Elizabeth II prints in particular has surged markedly. Both the standard and Royal Edition Elizabeth II prints have seen renewed auction interest and consistently achieve results well above estimate. The diamond dust Royal Edition prints are rarer and typically carry a substantial premium over their standard counterparts.

Collector Note

Whether acquired as individual prints or as complete portfolios, Reigning Queens offers exceptional collector value — culturally resonant, visually striking, and now carrying additional historical poignancy. Guy Hepner Gallery offers Reigning Queens prints for sale in both standard and Royal Edition formats. Enquire for current availability and pricing.

About Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol prints for sale and Andy Warhol paintings for sale at Guy Hepner Gallery, New York. Our inventory spans screenprints, silkscreens, and unique works across his most collected series: Marilyn Monroe, Campbell's Soup, Mao, Flowers, Myths, Ads, Cowboys and Indians, Dollar Signs, Cars, and Reigning Queens — all with full provenance and Feldman & Schellmann catalogue raisonné references. We also acquire Warhol. Contact our team for a free valuation.

Andy Warhol (1928–1987) is the defining figure of American Pop Art and the most commercially traded artist of the twentieth century. Born Andrew Warhola in Pittsburgh to Slovak immigrant parents, he rose from commercial illustrator to the architect of a cultural movement that permanently dissolved the boundary between fine art and mass media. His Manhattan studio, The Factory, became the epicentre of New York art and celebrity culture from the early 1960s until his death in February 1987.

Andy Warhol Art For Sale

Andy Warhol art for sale spans an extraordinary range of subjects, media, and price points — from intimate drawings and unique canvas paintings to large signed editions. His signature subjects include Campbell's Soup Cans, Marilyn Monroe, Mao Zedong, Dollar Signs, Flowers, Reigning Queens, Cowboys and Indians, the Ads portfolio, and the late Cars and Endangered Species series. Each body of work reflects his obsessive engagement with repetition, celebrity, and commodity culture.

The market benchmark for Warhol was set in May 2022 when Shot Sage Blue Marilyn (1964) sold at Christie's New York for $195 million — the highest price ever achieved at auction for an American artwork. Recent print sales confirm sustained institutional demand: Mao editions achieved $4,648,000 each at Christie's in May 2025; Flowers editions achieved $4,076,000 and $3,832,000 at Sotheby's in the same season.

Andy Warhol Paintings For Sale

Andy Warhol paintings for sale — unique acrylics and silkscreens on canvas — represent the rarest and most valuable tier of his output. Subjects produced in multiple unique variations include Flowers, Skulls, Shadows, Dollar Signs, and the late Oxidation Paintings. The Rorschach series (1984) and Camouflage works appeal strongly to institutional collectors. Abstract Expressionism paintings from the late 1970s and early 1980s remain undervalued relative to his iconic print series and represent a compelling collecting opportunity.

Andy Warhol paintings require substantial documentation: exhibition history, gallery receipts, and provenance tracing to The Factory or first-generation dealers. Prices range from mid-five figures for works on paper to eight figures for major canvas paintings. Our team can advise on current pricing and condition assessment across all painting categories.

Andy Warhol Prints For Sale

Warhol's screenprints represent the most accessible and widely collected segment of his output. Andy Warhol prints for sale range from early unsigned offset lithographs to hand-signed, numbered editions produced with Castelli Graphics, Factory Editions, and Ronald Feldman Fine Arts. Signed, numbered editions from key series — Marilyn Monroe (1967), Flowers (1970), Mao (1972), Ads (1985), Endangered Species (1983), Cowboys and Indians (1986), and Reigning Queens (1985) — command the strongest collector demand and the deepest secondary market liquidity.

Condition, provenance, and edition size are the critical variables. Works printed on Lenox Museum Board or high-grade rag paper with consistent registration and original colouration are the most desirable. Fading, foxing, or retouching materially affects value.

Andy Warhol Cars Prints For Sale

The Cars portfolio (F.S. II.356–362), produced in 1985 as a commission from Mercedes-Benz to mark the centenary of the automobile, stands among the most refined of Warhol's late print series. Ten screenprints on Lenox Museum Board render historic Mercedes-Benz models in Warhol's characteristic flat colour and photographic silkscreen technique — his iconic commercial sensibility applied to the history of industrial design. Signed and numbered in editions of 100, with separate artist's proofs, the Cars series regularly achieves $25,000–$75,000 per impression and commands significant premiums when offered as complete portfolios.

Andy Warhol Late Paintings and Works on Paper

Warhol's production in the final decade of his life — broadly 1978 to 1987 — encompasses some of his most conceptually ambitious work. The Knives series (1981–82), Guns series (1981–82), and Crosses (1981–82) form a trilogy of loaded American objects rendered in the same neutral Pop vocabulary he had applied to Soup Cans twenty years earlier. The Boots and Dollar Bills paintings sit alongside late unique canvases from the Camouflage series (1986–87) and the haunting Last Supper paintings completed weeks before his death. Works from this period are systematically underrepresented in collector awareness relative to their importance to the broader catalogue and represent genuine long-term collecting opportunities.

Andy Warhol Self Portrait Prints For Sale

Andy Warhol self portrait prints are among the most sought-after works in his catalogue — a subject he returned to from 1966 to 1986. The most collected examples include:

  • Self Portrait F.S. II.7 (1966) — the iconic fist-to-chin composition in vivid Pop colourways
  • Self Portrait F.S. II.12–22 (1978) — nine large-format prints; auction results regularly $80,000–$250,000
  • Self Portrait with Fright Wig (1986) — produced a year before his death; widely regarded as his definitive late statement
  • Camouflage Self Portrait F.S. II.316 (1986) — the artist dissolved into his own imagery

Self portrait prices range from $18,000 for early unsigned screenprints to $400,000+ for the 1978 and 1986 signed works in excellent condition. Authentication requires reference to the Feldman & Schellmann catalogue raisonné and, where applicable, a former Andy Warhol Art Authentication Board certificate.
