Andy Warhol's George Gershwin print is a part of his Jews portfolio, a series of silkscreen prints created in 1980. This collection was Warhol's tribute to prominent Jewish figures who made significant contributions to various fields, including music, film, literature, and art. George Gershwin, a legendary composer and pianist, was one of the subjects immortalized by Warhol in this series. George Gershwin is widely celebrated for his groundbreaking contributions to American music, particularly his innovative fusion of classical music with jazz and popular styles. His iconic compositions, such as Rhapsody in Blue and An American in Paris, have become timeless classics that continue to influence generations of musicians and composers. In Warhol's print of George Gershwin, the composer's image is depicted in a bold and graphic style typical of Warhol's Pop Art aesthetic. The use of vibrant colors and repetitive imagery serves to emphasize Gershwin's status as a cultural icon, while also reflecting Warhol's fascination with celebrity and fame. By including George Gershwin in his Jews portfolio, Warhol pays homage to the composer's Jewish heritage and his enduring legacy in American music. Gershwin's pioneering spirit and innovative approach to composition align with Warhol's own avant-garde sensibilities, making him a fitting subject for inclusion in this series. The Jews portfolio as a whole serves as a reminder of the significant contributions of Jewish individuals to various aspects of culture and society. Through his art, Warhol highlights the diversity and richness of Jewish identity while also celebrating the achievements of these remarkable individuals. Warhol's print of George Gershwin from the Jews portfolio is not only a tribute to the composer's musical genius but also a reflection of Warhol's own appreciation for cultural icons and the enduring power of art to celebrate and commemorate the lives of extraordinary individuals.

1980
In 1980, Andy Warhol created one of his most historically significant portfolios: Ten Portraits of Jews of the Twentieth Century (FS II.226–235). Commissioned by art dealer Ronald Feldman, the series brought together ten individuals who had shaped modern culture — scientists, writers, artists, political leaders, performers — and rendered them in Warhol's iconic silkscreen style. Ten Portraits of Jews of the Twentieth Century for sale at Guy Hepner offers collectors access to a portfolio of lasting cultural importance.
The ten subjects span an extraordinary range of achievement: Gertrude Stein (FS II.226), the modernist godmother; Sarah Bernhardt (FS II.227), the nineteenth century's greatest actress; Golda Meir (FS II.228), Israeli Prime Minister and global stateswoman; Albert Einstein (FS II.229), the century's defining scientist; Sigmund Freud (FS II.230), founder of psychoanalysis; Louis Brandeis (FS II.231), pioneering US Supreme Court Justice; Martin Buber (FS II.232), philosopher of dialogue; The Marx Brothers (FS II.233), masters of comic subversion; George Gershwin (FS II.234), composer of the American songbook; and Franz Kafka (FS II.235), literature's great chronicler of alienation.
Warhol worked from archival photographs, running each through his distinctive screen process to produce portraits that balance historical gravity with Pop accessibility. The palette varies portrait to portrait — from the warm ochres of the Gershwin to the stark blacks of the Kafka — giving the portfolio visual variety while maintaining stylistic coherence.
The portfolio was published in an edition of 200, with 30 artist's proofs, each signed and numbered by Warhol. Individual prints measure approximately 40 × 32 inches on Lenox Museum Board. The relative scarcity of complete portfolios — and the strong institutional and private demand for individual prints — makes this one of the most actively sought Warhol series on the secondary market.
Collectors prize the Ten Portraits for their confluence of cultural weight and aesthetic strength. Works from the series hold collections at major museums internationally and continue to appear at top-tier auction houses.

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.
