## Caption

Andy Warhol’s **Liz** series stands as one of the most emotionally charged bodies of work in his career, transforming a Hollywood publicity image of Elizabeth Taylor into a meditation on fame, fragility, and mortality. Created in the early 1960s as Taylor’s health was widely reported in the press, Warhol’s repeated silkscreened portraits oscillate between glamour and vulnerability—her iconic gaze rendered in electric, often jarring colour combinations that underscore both adoration and decay. By mechanising her image through repetition, Warhol collapses celebrity, tragedy, and mass media into a single visual language, elevating Taylor from movie star to modern icon while exposing the uneasy intimacy between public obsession and private suffering.
