Mason Newman | Actress Shoots Warhol

Exclusively available at Creed Gallery Ascot, ‘Actress Shoots Warhol’ is a high-stakes original drawing by 2024 Forbes 30 Under 30 artist Mason Newman. This work captures a defining, violent intersection of celebrity and obsession: the 1968 shooting of Andy Warhol at The Factory. Dubbed by critics as the "chaotic cousin" to Warhol himself, Newman approaches the subject with a unique blend of historical reverence and his signature contemporary defiance.

Newman utilizes frenetic mark-making and high-impact acrylic layers to memorialize this pivotal moment. The work is a masterclass in Pop-Satire, utilizing the raw, "frenetic" energy of street-art techniques to re-examine the dark side of fame. Every stroke on the paper reflects a graphic rebellion, transforming a historical event into a "diaristic" timestamp of the 21st century’s own obsession with notoriety. This original represents a premier luxury commodity for any collection focused on the evolution of Pop Art.

This original work is professionally conservation framed in black and is available for viewing at Creed Gallery Ascot. We provide specialist art advisory for collectors in Sunningdale, Wentworth, and Windsor, ensuring a seamless acquisition process for our clients in Berkshire, Surrey, and London.
