Andy Warhol - Elvis Presley - Triple Elvis by Andy Warhol, 1963

The famous portrait of Elvis Presley by Andy Warhol in 1963 shows the singer wearing a cowboy outfit with a pistol in hand, taken from a promotional photo for the film Flaming Star (1960). Origin and Creation The exhibition: Warhol created these canvases for his show at the Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles in September 1963. The format: He sent continuous rolls with the image printed in silkscreen so that the gallery could cut and mount the pieces in various sizes. The message: By repeating the figure (as in Double Elvis or Triple Elvis), Warhol treated celebrity as an industrially reproducible product, empty and for mass consumption. The silver background simulated a cinema screen. Triple Elvis by Andy Warhol, iconic work with copyright Andy Warhol Foundation.
