Andy WARHOL - Double Mickey Mouse (FS II.269)

Warhol’s use of repetition of imagery within a work was common, as seen in Double Elvis. Warhol was interested in the techniques involved in stop-motion animation, as evidenced by the choice of subject matter in Double Mickey Mouse 269. The repetition of the same image of Mickey Mouse becomes more of a pattern than a development of movement. This is the second print that Warhol created of Mickey Mouse, after his first Mickey Mouse 265 in his Myths portfolio. Notably, Double Mickey Mouse is one of Andy Warhol’s top 10 most valuable prints ever sold.
