In 1985, Andy Warhol transformed Queen Elizabeth II into the celebrity he imagined her to be. Using a photograph taken from the Queen’s 1977 Silver Jubilee portrait, when she was just 51, the artist applied his Pop aesthetic to the British monarch, stylizing her face with graphic lines and flat colors.
Introduction
In 1985, Andy Warhol embarked on his largest portfolio of screen-prints. Titled Reigning Queens, Warhol chose to focus his creative attention on the four female monarchs who were ruling in the world at the time, having assumed their respective thrones through birth right alone rather than marriage. These four figures included Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark and Queen Ntombi Twala of Swaziland. Based on official or media photographs of these monarchs, the screen-print portfolio consists of four color variants of each queen, amounting to sixteen images in total. The screen-prints were created using a photographic silkscreen technique central to Warhol’s practice, employed profusely in both his prints and paintings.
Warhol produced two editions of the Reigning Queens portfolio: forty ‘Standard Edition’ prints and thirty ‘Royal Edition’ prints. Screen-prints from the ‘Royal Edition’ were adorned with ‘diamond dust’ – fine particles of ground up glass that sparkle in the light like diamonds – adding a glamor and extravagance to these images and further emphasizing the regal allure of Warhol’s iconic subjects. The Reigning Queens series brings together many themes central to Warhol’s oeuvre, such as portraiture, celebrity, and consumerism.
In 1985, Andy Warhol transformed Queen Elizabeth II into the celebrity he imagined her to be. Using a photograph taken from the Queen’s 1977 Silver Jubilee portrait, when she was just 51, the artist applied his Pop aesthetic to the British monarch, stylizing her face with graphic lines and flat colors.
This portrait of the Queen has become one of her most well-known images, used globally from currency to postage stamps. Dressed in the Vladimir tiara, Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee necklace, Queen Alexandra’s wedding earrings, and King George VI’s Family Order pinned to the Garter sash, Warhol’s subject is adorned with her heritage. The hot pink backdrop in the present example matches the Queen’s Silver Jubilee celebratory garb of pink dress, coat and hat. Adding a touch of fluorescence, Warhol modernizes Her Majesty in fuchsia, merging her past and present in an image worthy of her legacy.
“I want to be as famous as The Queen of England.”
Warhol’s portrait of Queen Elizabeth II adds to an extensive lineage of royal portraiture, most often featuring monarchs bedecked with regalia. In keeping with this, Warhol used the Queen’s official Silver Jubilee portrait for his series, which was a photograph taken by Peter Grugeon at Winsor Castle in 1975 and released in 1977. Dressed in the Vladimir tiara, Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee necklace, Queen Alexandra’s wedding earrings, and King George VI’s Family Order pinned to her Garter sash, Warhol’s subject is adorned with her heritage.
Letter from Sir William Heseltine to Publisher George C.P, Mulder
Grugeon’s portrait is one of the most recognizable images of Queen Elizabeth and it has been endlessly circulated on currency and postage stamps, as well as in the media and various commemorative merchandise. This widespread reproduction of the Queen’s image directly connects to Warhol’s fascination with mass replication and consumption of celebrity imagery. Warhol combines Grugeon’s traditional state portrait of Queen Elizabeth II – steeped in centuries of British history – with his iconic Pop aesthetic. Stylised with bold lines, bright colours and flat, graphic form, Warhol’s portrait is as much a portrait of the monarch as it is of late-twentieth-century pop culture.

The screenprints were created using a photographic silkscreen technique that was central to Warhol’s practice and employed profusely in both his prints and paintings. Upon the completion of the portfolio, Sir William Heseltine, the Queen’s private secretary, wrote to George Mulder, Warhol’s European dealer, to acknowledge that Queen Elizabeth II was “most pleased and interested to see” Warhol’s portraits of her. Attesting to the importance of this modernized portrait of the Queen, the Royal Collection Trust purchased all four colorways of her likeness from the ‘Royal Edition’ in 2012.
