encounter such a text:

The famous self-portrait of the founder of pop art Andy Warhol, written in 1986 shortly before his sudden death, will be exhibited at Sotheby's in New York. This work is part of a series of self-portraits, created by the artist in the twilight of his creative life.

Giant picture - its dimensions are 108 by 108 inches (2,75 × 2,75 m) - embodies the conflict between the public image of Andy Warhol and his inner attitude. Despite the great popularity and attention to the person of the artist, he has remained closed and mysterious persona. The theme of internal and external artist turned infrequently, though he considered it one of the most important.
