Andy Warhol Prints: a Catalogue Raisonné, 4th edition. New York: DAP, 2003. p 124, #11/268. Andy Warhol’s colorful portraits of Jane Fonda show a daring and emblazoned Fonda in the height of her 1970’s Barbarella fervor. Warhol’s penchant for capturing, studying and creating celebrity through his print making process defined American cultural consciousness. Everyone in America knew who Fonda and what Fonda was – the definition of an elite sex symbol who graced the silver screen with a joie-de-vie that was unobtainable. By creating her image in print form of an edition of 100 with 20 artist proofs, 3 printer’s proofs and 25 test proofs, Warhol made the unobtainable, attainable. Warhol and Fonda are said to have become acquainted with one another during Fonda’s infamous marriage to director/producer Roger Vadim. The two frequented Warhol’s most renowned watering hole outside of the Factory, Max’s Kansas City, a restaurant-nightclub located on Park Avenue South, where they encountered Warhol and his entourage, including Candy Darling
