First major solo show unveiling hidden 1976\u201377 portraits of Andy Warhol and Rudolf Nureyev by Jamie Wyeth
\nThe exhibition runs from September 12 to October 17, 2025 at Schoelkopf Gallery in New York City<\/p>\n
Jamie Wyeth<\/a>\u2018s Portraits of Andy Warhol and Rudolf Nureyev marks Schoelkopf Gallery<\/a>\u2019s first major solo exhibition of the artist\u2019s portraiture. Nearly fifty years after his late wife Phyllis Mills Wyeth tucked these works away following the 1976 Portraits of Each Other show, this remarkable cache of silken realist renderings emerges for the first time. On display are Wyeth\u2019s intimate studies of two 20th-century luminaries: Pop Art pioneer Andy Warhol<\/a> and ballet icon Rudolf Nureyev \u2014 each revealing the painter\u2019s profound kinship with his subjects.<\/p>\n The exhibition revisits Wyeth\u2019s exchange with Warhol during the heyday of the Factory era. In 1976, the two artists painted each other for a raucous opening at New York\u2019s Coe Kerr Gallery, where crowds stretched from 82nd Street around to Madison Avenue \u2014 prompting The New York Times to quip, \u201cAt Gallery, The Crowd Was Ogling Itself.\u201d While Warhol\u2019s silkscreen portrait of Wyeth brimmed with celebrity sheen, Wyeth\u2019s unflinching realism captured Warhol\u2019s wonder-struck humanity, underscoring their mutual respect and artistic dialogue.\n<\/p>\n In 1977, Wyeth turned his gaze to Rudolf Nureyev, forging an unlikely friendship when the dancer stayed at Wyeth\u2019s Maine farmhouse. Describing Nureyev\u2019s off-stage magnetism as \u201chaving a panther in the house,\u201d Wyeth produced some of his most dynamic, energetically charged canvases. Accompanied by key works from across his career and scholarly contributions by Patricia Junker, this exhibition offers a rare window into Wyeth\u2019s enduring fascination with the personal narratives \u2013 \u201cghosts\u201d- of those he painted.\n<\/p>\n The Jamie Wyeth: Portraits of Andy Warhol and Rudolf Nureyev exhibition is opening on September 12 and will remain on view through October 17, 2025.\n<\/p>\n Schoelkopf Gallery
