Warhol–Wyeth: Portraits of Each Other - Cheekwood
x icon Close

In 1977, Andy Warhol, the king of Pop, and Jamie Wyeth, the acclaimed realist, brought their remarkable portraits of one another to Cheekwood in an exhibition that celebrated the creative exchange between two artists from seemingly different worlds. Fifty years later, Warhol–Wyeth: Portraits of Each Other revisits this landmark moment in Cheekwood’s history, bringing these works together once more. Through their distinctive approaches to portraiture, Warhol and Wyeth reveal a shared fascination with identity, celebrity, and the people who captivate us. More than a meeting of artistic styles, their portraits tell the story of an unexpected friendship and a collaboration that continues to resonate.
