Nearly 50 years after being secreted away, the Schoelkopf Gallery exhibition unveils an extraordinary trove of Jamie Wyeth portraits which reveal his deep kinship with pop culture icons Andy Warhol and Rudolf Nureyev.
Schoelkopf Gallery, in collaboration with Adelson Galleries, is pleased to present the gallery’s first important exhibition of Jamie Wyeth’s portraits celebrating his collaboration and lasting obsessions with Pop Art icon Andy Warhol and acclaimed Russian dancer Rudolf Nureyev. The exhibition, Jamie Wyeth: Portraits of Andy Warhol and Rudolf Nureyev, opens to the public at Schoelkopf Gallery’s Tribeca location on September 12 and will remain on view through October 17, 2025.
In 2023, Jamie Wyeth rediscovered a breathtaking hidden cache of portraits that his late wife and muse Phyllis Mills Wyeth stashed away in 1978, shortly after the triumphant success of Wyeth and Warhol’s exhibition Portraits of Each Other at Coe Kerr Gallery on New York’s Upper East Side. These works will be seen by the public for the first time and invite us to view the magical connection Wyeth maintained with two of the 20th century’s most magnetic personalities. “When I do portraits, it isn’t just sitting, frozen, it’s living their life, seeing their life.”
