Mick Jagger 138 is a screenprint by Andy Warhol from the artist’s Mick Jagger portfolio (1975). A plethora of bands pioneered a wave of cultural liberation during the 1970’s, making the decade a golden age for rock and roll. Formed in 1962, The Rolling Stones were a sexier, wilder act than the Beatles, and Mick Jagger garnered attention for his lewd dance moves and enigmatic stage persona. Mick Jagger 138 features the iconic lead singer of the rock and roll group at the height of this period. Warhol first met Jagger at a party in 1963, the same year he began working on feature length films like Sleep. However, they would not collaborate professionally for another 6 years.
