Grace Kelly was an American film actress who became Princess of Monaco when she married Prince Reinier. She was from an accomplished family: her father a three-time Olympic gold medalist for sculling, her uncle a vaudeville star, and another uncle a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright. She attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York, and made her Broadway debut a few days shy of her 20th birthday. In addition to stage work, Grace also appeared frequently in early television, including on “CBS Television Workshop,” “Goodyear Playhouse,” and “Kraft Theatre.” Her first film role was in the 1951 drama “Fourteen Hours.”
Completed just two years after her tragic death from a car accident, this portrait sits in within the Warholian tradition of depicting quintessential American celebrity icons posthumously. Grace Kelly is memorialized as an icon of popular culture by Warhol through his renowned screen-printing technique. Warhol’s use of vivid colors and simplified form replicates the kitsch aesthetic of mass consumer products and works to emphasize the thin veneer of Kelly’s beauty and fame. With Warhol’s use of luminous color, the blue backdrop and bright yellow hair, and multicolored lines that contour Kelly’s portrait, he creates a glossy surface to the print, mimicking the visual language of 1980s magazines.
