Queen Beatrix 340 by Andy Warhol is a striking portrait from the artist’s 1985 Reigning Queens series. While the Pop artist displayed an open fascination with celebrity throughout his career, he also focused on political figures like Mao Zedong, Richard Nixon and Jackie Kennedy. No one of influence was off the table. This time, Warhol chose to draw attention to women in power. In addition to Queen Beatrix, this collection includes Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, and Queen Ntombi Twala of Swaziland. Though he believed few Americans would identify with the series, Warhol’s attraction towards royalty was an extension of his study of fame.
