George Condo — Portrait and Head (2024)

George Condo’s “Portrait and Head” (2024) distills the artist’s unmistakable ability to fuse the grotesque and the sublime into a single, psychologically charged image—an approach that has made him one of the defining voices of contemporary portraiture. Produced as a technically demanding 33-color screenprint with spot colours on Somerset Tub Sized Radiant White 600gsm paper, the work reflects the printmaking discipline Condo developed early in his career at Andy Warhol’s Factory, where precision and experimentation were not opposites but the same practice.

Today, Condo’s position is firmly museum-grade, with works held in major permanent collections including MoMA, Tate Modern, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and represented by top-tier galleries such as Hauser & Wirth and Sprüth Magers. His visual language also resonates beyond the institutional sphere—most notably through culturally influential collaborations, including album-cover commissions for Kanye West and Travis Scott—underscoring a rare capacity to shape both high art discourse and contemporary visual culture. Market recognition has followed accordingly, highlighted by a $6.85 million auction result achieved at Christie’s Hong Kong in July 2020, reinforcing the artist’s established liquidity and international demand.

Released in March 2024 in support of the Dia Art Foundation, this limited edition—signed and dated by Condo—offers collectors a focused entry point into his current practice, combining rigorous production values, clear provenance context, and the scarcity of a 150-copy edition.
