クリスティーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (クリスティーズInstagram)「Andy Warhol’s ‘Sixteen Jackies’ As the world began to process the death of President John F. Kennedy, the public face of the overwhelming loss was the former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. Overnight, her image as one of the most beautiful and glamorous women in the world was transformed into one of sorrow as she became the country’s barometer of emotion and a symbol of survival. Her displays of public mourning have become some of the most poignant images of the twentieth century, their enduring legacy due—in part—to Warhol’s iconic depictions of her. As the only work from the series that repeats the same image of a veiled Jackie in a 4 by 4 grid in one monochromatic palette, ‘Sixteen Jackies’ memorializes the enormity of her personal grief as well as the collective shock of the entire world. By repeating the unicolor screen, likened to the black and white colorway of a newspaper, Warhol not only tells the story of one of the darkest days in modern American history, but also examines the power of images in modern society. Andy Warhol’s ‘Sixteen Jackies’ represents the peak of the artist’s ‘Death and Disaster’ series, among the most powerful and perceptive paintings of his career. We are thrilled to offer ‘Sixteen Jackies’ as a highlight of the New York 20th Century Evening Sale this November. 20th Century Evening Sale| New York
