In 1962, Andy Warhol produced a number of silkscreen renditions of Elvis Presley from a single photo. The image he used to represent Elvis was taken from a publicity still for the 1960 film Flaming Star. By selecting this particular shot, Warhol avoided giving us The King – or “Elvis playing Elvis” – and instead gave us Elvis in the role of a cowboy.
"My first experiments with (silk) screens were heads of Troy Donahue and Warren Beatty, and then when Marilyn Monroe happened to die that month (August 1962), I got the idea to make screens of her beautiful face". -ANDY WARHOL
Warhol’s prediction that in the future everybody would be famous for at least fifteen minutes shows his fascination with the very fleeting quality of fame. By depicting Elvis in his cowboy getup, he has even made The King seem fleeting. With his gun pointed at the viewer, Elvis appears fierce at first glance, but this does not hide the eclectic and contrasting mix of ideas that the work embodies – Elvis the superstar vs. Elvis the “sub-star,” Elvis The King vs. Elvis the cowboy, and Elvis the rocker vs. Elvis the robber.
As with all of his depictions of stars, Warhol’s use of repeated motifs here, too, sheds light on the element of exhaustion in pop culture.
Blue Elvis is a porcelain multiple, a limited edition of only 49 copies published by Rosenthal Studio-line in collaboration with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the visual Arts INC., New York.The works are signed in glaze, and come in their original wooden box, accompanied by certificate from the Rosenthal Studio.

Signed in glaze, numbered on the reverse on label In wooden box, accompanied by Certificate of Authenticity from the Rosenthal Studio in collaboration with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the visual Arts INC., New York. In excellent condition Framed Of all Andy Warhol's celebrity subjects, none seem more perfectly emblematic of how the artist perceived and synthesised America than Marilyn Monroe. Warhol saw in Monroe all the promise, beauty, sex symbol, a Hollywood product, the fame and tragedy that 1960s America was capable of realizing. In his Marilyn portraits – which he began shortly after Monroe's death, in August 1962 and taking on the suggestion of Henry Geldzahler - it's impossible to locate what one might call the truth of the subject. Based on Warhol's painting Marilyn Diptych, which belongs to the collection of the Tate Museum in London. Marilyn's repeated face in a grid, is a clear indicators of Warhol's conceptual commercial printing. Every Saturday night and Sunday morning, the young Andrew Warhola and his mother made a 3 mile walk to Saint John Chrysostom church, a small Byzantine Catholic church. In the church he saw the iconostasis, which was a grid with religious pictures...Category
