About this work

Andy Warhol's print of the Marx Brothers from the Jews portfolio is a striking example of the artist's exploration of Jewish identity and cultural icons. Created in 1980, this print features the legendary comedic trio—Groucho, Harpo, and Chico Marx—rendered in Warhol's signature Pop Art style. Warhol's fascination with celebrity culture and the cult of fame found expression in his depictions of iconic figures like the Marx Brothers. Through his use of bold colors, graphic compositions, and repetition of imagery, Warhol captured the essence of the Marx Brothers' comedic genius and enduring popularity. In the Jews portfolio, Warhol sought to celebrate and honor the contributions of Jewish individuals to various fields, including entertainment, science, and politics. By including the Marx Brothers in this portfolio, Warhol acknowledged their status as cultural icons and highlighted their Jewish heritage as an integral aspect of their identity. While Warhol's print of the Marx Brothers may appear simplistic at first glance, it reflects the artist's ability to distill complex subjects into visually arresting images. Through his depiction of the Marx Brothers, Warhol invites viewers to reconsider the significance of Jewish identity in shaping popular culture and entertainment. Today, Warhol's print of the Marx Brothers remains a cherished part of his artistic legacy, serving as a testament to the enduring appeal of these comedic legends and their impact on the world of entertainment.

About the Ten Portraits of Jews of the Twentieth Century Series

Andy Warhol Ten Portraits of Jews of the Twentieth Century Prints For Sale

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 Ten Portraits of Jews of the Twentieth Century prints for sale at Guy Hepner are available individually or as complete sets. Contact our team for current inventory.

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.
