About the Art:Warhol created Superman (1981) for his Myths Portfolio, a series that appropriated characters from popular culture, the likes of Dracula, Santa Claus, and Uncle Sam. Screen-printed in colours with diamond dust, Superman features the most iconic superhero of the 20th Century, a creation of D.C. Comics. Clark Kent, otherwise known as Superman, was a newspaper journalist by day who saved humanity by night.

Warhol uses this colour scheme to embellish the primarily dimmer and darker colours of the background and highlights detail with red and blue diamond dust.

Guided by a deep interest in recontextualizing images of mass media, from products like Campbell’s Soup to personalities like Marilyn Monroe, Warhol recasts Superman as a reflection of his own personal myth and gives the viewer the space to reconsider the stories that we, as a culture, create and celebrate.
