What happens when the artist becomes as iconic as the art itself? Andy Warhol’s Self-Portrait (FS II.16) addresses this question head-on. Created to accompany his exhibition at the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York (April 2–27, 1966), the work is a defining statement of Warhol’s cultivated persona and his evolving role as both creator and celebrity.This striking piece, printed in black ink on silver-coated paper, features Warhol in a half-lit, contemplative pose, with his hand resting on his chin. At once stark and stylized, the image blurs the boundary between man and myth. The minimal rendering downplays his human features, yet retains unmistakable recognizability—underscoring how Warhol’s own image had become inseparable from his artistic brand.Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Warhol’s self-portraits became increasingly central to his practice. Created through a mix of cameras and print techniques, these works charted his ongoing exploration of identity, fame, and the duplicity of self-representation. Self-Portrait 16 is an early and essential iteration of this theme, encapsulating both his introspective gaze and calculated public mystique.Warhol’s self-portraiture is unique within art history: few artists have ever so deliberately constructed, manipulated, and repeated their own likeness. By engaging the silkscreen process, Warhol simultaneously flattens and elevates the self, crafting an image that is cool, detached, and endlessly reproducible—yet loaded with cultural and psychological complexity.As a self-styled icon, Warhol stood shoulder to shoulder with the celebrities he portrayed. Self-Portrait 16 captures the emergence of that persona and offers a rare moment of intimacy within his otherwise polished, performative exterior. His enduring fascination with his own image is further explored in later works such as Self-Portrait (Painting), Self-Portrait 156A, and even the digitally rendered Untitled (Self-Portrait) created on an Amiga computer—each expanding on themes of identity, repetition, and technological mediation.Ultimately, Self-Portrait (FS II.16) is not just a portrait of Warhol—it is a portrait of the era’s shifting understanding of fame, authenticity, and selfhood. It remains a compelling and essential piece within the broader legacy of both Warhol and contemporary art.For more information on Andy Warhol's Self-Portrait (FS II.16) for sale or to buy Self-Portrait (FS II.16), contact our galleries using the form below.

Warhol's self-portraits span his entire career and count among the most psychologically charged works in his catalogue. From the cool, sunglasses-wearing images of the 1960s to the haunting Fright Wig portraits of 1986 — made the year before his death, his face emerging from darkness beneath an explosion of silver hair — these works offer something rare in Warhol's output: a direct confrontation with the artist himself.
The self-portraits exist as unique paintings and as signed screenprint editions (notably the F.S. IIIC.24–30 series), allowing collectors to engage with the theme across a wide range of formats and scale. They remain consistently among the most sought-after of his portrait subjects.

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 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 — 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.
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.
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.
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 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 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.
