A portrait of Mick Jagger by Andy Warhol goes to auction in London estimate £80,000

By editorial board on April 17, 2023

Online bidding is open now and will run through until the auction day, March 29.

Titled “British. Cool.,” the live auction on March 29 will feature 252 works of or by British cultural icons picked by various departments at Bonhams, the auction house said.

The top lot is a 1975 Warhol screenprint of Jagger with an estimate between £60,000 and £80,000 (US$73,000-US$97,000).

The two artists first met in 1964, when the Rolling Stones had their first tour of the U.S., Bonhams said. Their first artistic collaboration came when Warhol designed the album cover for Sticky Fingers in 1971, and the two collaborated again in 1975 for the Mick Jagger Portfolio, a portfolio of 10 screenprints published by Seabird Editions in London.

The works were the product of a trip Jagger and his then-wife, Bianca, took that year to Warhol’s home in Montauk, N.Y. Warhol used Polaroids to take portraits, then added line drawings and collage-like blocks of solid color in the final screenprints.

On January 2023 Bianca Jagger 77, was spotted  at 'Art Without Borders' charity auction in London  almost unrecognisable at charity auction.

Devoted dad Guiseppe Della Camera, 34, spent ten years restoring the rusting van to perfection after he spotted it on a farm - being used as a chicken shed.  Giuseppe Della Camera

He snapped up the rusting 1954 Morris J-type for just £2,000 and took it to restorers Cummins in Crewe, lavishing £35,000 on his labour of love.

The restoration was such a success that Rolling Stone Sir Mick Jagger  recently offered to buy the vehicle for £100,000 when he clapped eyes on it at a show.

The owner said: 'I was working with Carter's Steam Fair on Wandsworth Common when Sir Mick came up with his son and bought a couple of ice creams.

'He told me he'd really fallen in love with my van and asked me if I would consider selling it. I was stunned when he offered me £100,000.

'Sir Mick has got seven children and I think he probably wanted my van to entertain his grandchildren.'

But I told him I couldn't possibly sell it, because it's always been my dream to drive my 12-year-old daughter Alessia to her wedding one day in my little ice cream van."

English-born Giuseppe first got into the ice cream trade when his father Vic, from Naples, and Sicilian mother Grace won the catering concession for Battersea Park in London. to read the full article click here
