Andy Warhol's portrait of Grace Kelly is an homage to golden-age Hollywood glamour. The portrait, based on a still from Kelly's debut film 'Fourteen Hours' (1951), depicts her looking defiantly at the camera, with her face tightly cropped to fill the entire foreground. Warhol embellishes the photo with his characteristic off-register line drawing in order to transform it into a Pop Art masterpiece. By simplifying the image with planes of block colour, Warhol enhances the striking contours and shadows of Kelly's iconic face.

Screenprint in colours, 1984, on Lenox Museum Board, signed in pencil and numbered 140/225 from the edition of 225 (there were also 30 artist's proofs), printed by Rupert Jasen Smith, New York, published by the Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, 101.6 x 81.3 cm.
