One of Andy Warhol's characteristic modes of expression as an artist lay in his fondness for taking as his themes famous symbols, trademarks, labels and celebrities. The result was numerous portfolios of figures from politics, art and history. One of these is the 1985 series Reigning Queens, consisting of 16 serigraphs: four colour portraits of Queen Elizabeth II, Queen Margrethe II, Queen Beatrix and Queen Ntombi Twala. |
