Mickey Mouse (F&S II.265) is one of ten screen prints from Andy Warhol’s 1981 Myths portfolio—an exploration of cultural icons from American popular imagination. For Warhol, Mickey Mouse was not merely a cartoon character but a globally recognised emblem of manufactured innocence, commercial success, and visual ubiquity. The inclusion of Mickey in the portfolio positions the character alongside other enduring mythic figures, including Superman, Dracula, and Santa Claus—each representing a different facet of collective identity.

 

Warhol’s fascination with fame and reproducibility finds a perfect subject in Mickey Mouse. Created in the late 1920s and continuously adapted for the screen and consumer product lines, Mickey had become, by the 1980s, both timeless and placeless—a figure whose meaning was shaped more by repetition than origin.

This work, like others in the portfolio, uses Warhol’s silkscreen process and incorporates diamond dust to heighten the interplay between surface, glamour, and artifice. It is signed and numbered in pencil lower left, consistent with the edition. Today, Mickey Mouse is among the most recognised and collected works from the Myths series, emblematic of Warhol’s ability to elevate familiar imagery into conceptual portraiture.

 

Available from Coskun Fine Art in excellent condition, with full authentication and provenance.
