Description

This rare trial proof (TP) silkscreen by Rupert Jasen Smith, is a striking example of his unique fusion of commercial imagery and fine art, heavily influenced by his time as Andy Warhol’s master printer. The composition features a stylized close-up portrait of a model’s face, delicately rendered in soft pastel tones with an ethereal gradient.  The branding—synonymous with luxury and beauty—takes on an artistic elevation, transforming a commercial advertisement into a sophisticated pop art statement.

Signed in pencil on the reverse and numbered TP 5/30 (Trial Proof) in pencil on the reverse. The work bears the blind stamp of Rupert Jasen Smith. It was published by Galerie Sho, Tokyo, underscoring its strong connection to the Japanese art and design context.

The artwork originates from the renowned portfolio, a tribute created following the passing of Andy Warhol. In this series, Smith revisits and reinterprets themes central to Warhol’s legacy—mass media, global branding, luxury, and the intersection between fine art and consumer culture.

Work is professionally framed in a bespoke black wooden frame with PLEXIGLAS® Optical HC, scratch-resistant and UV-protected. Framed approx. 115x 115 cm

Rupert Jasen Smith (USA 1953 - 1989) was the preferred master printer and art director of Andy Warhol and you can see how his art style was influenced greatly by his work and friendship with Warhol. The work exemplifies his mastery in screen printing and acrylic techniques, blending fine art with the allure of Hollywoods Golden Age. 

His influence extended beyond printing; he helped refine Warhols approach to color, texture, and production techniques. Warhol trusted Smiths artistic judgment, making him an integral part of his studios legacy. 

Authenticity and provenance guaranteed.

Delivered with a certificate of authenticity.

Rupert Jasen Smith, Shiseido from the Homage to Andy Portfolio
United States  • 1953

Presentation

Rupert Jasen Smith was born in 1953 in New Jersey. He grew up in Palm Beach, Florida. Smith received his Bachelor of Arts degree from the Pratt Institute, New York City in 1973, in painting and printmaking. Soon after, he was offered the job of master printer at the Tamarind Institute in Los Angeles, but refused, deciding to work independently in New York. Smith had spent most of his childhood intrigued by the tropical and lush native Florida environment and began painting and studying with American landscape painter AE Bakus. Surface quality became an important aspect of his paintings and he experimented with the lighting of a dimensional source inside and above his canvases, eventually leading to the application of diamond dust particles on its surfaces to improve the prismatic properties of light and color.

In 1974, Smith met Andy Warhol and helped him with his hand-painted flower editions. Mr Smith established a close relationship with Warhol over 15 years ago and was appointed his master engraver and artistic director in 1977 - just four years after graduating from the Pratt Institute - when he collaborated with Warhol on Hammer and Sickle painting and silkscreen prints. Warhol was so pleased with the master printer's work that the artist authorized Mr. Smith's printer's stamp alongside the signature "Andy Warhol" on all of their works.

The works of Warhol bearing the mark of Mr. Smith include his portraits of Princess Grace of Monaco, Ingrid Bergman, Mickey Mouse and Edward Kennedy, as well as works known as Reigning Queens - 1985, Endangered Species - 1983 and Shoes - 1980 and all the private commissioned work that Warhol did in the last 10 years of his life. Rupert Jasen Smith, in addition to being Andy Warhol's printer and an important contributor to Warhol in his later years, was an artist in his own right.

Some critics say that without Psaier and his colleague Rupert Jasen Smith in the background, Warhol would never have been able to produce and maintain the production of Factory's commercial release, but with dignity and style, the two chose not to take the star of Warhol. Mr. Smith was also a renowned artist and was acclaimed for his portrayal and portfolio of Greta Garbo. His work is represented by Gallery Sho in Tokyo, Gallerie Borjeson in Sweden and Hokin Galleries in Chicago, Miami and Palm Beach, as well as the Fred Dorfman Gallery in New York. Mr. Smith's printer's stamp also appears on many works by Larry Rivers, Keith Haring, Kenny Scarf and photographer Francesco Scavullo. A native of New Hope whose grandfather was New Hope's “country doctor" for 50 years, Mr. Smith himself has become something of a legend in Bucks County. Not only were his achievements deeply admired, but his home aroused great fascination: it stood inside the remains of a late 18th-century five-story silk mill on Sugan Road.

He designed and printed unique color serigraphs for the introduction to Keith Haring and William Burroughs' portfolio of prints and writings titled "Apocalypse", published in 1988. A partial list of private collectors of his work before his death included: Julie Christie, Halston, Jenkins, Mick Jagger, Grace Jones, John Lennon, Rauchenberg and Warhol. Rupert Jasen Smith died in 1989 in North Ridge, Florida from AIDS.
