ANDY WARHOL Portrait of Ingrid Bergman the Nun, 1983

Portrait of Ingrid Bergman as a Nun from The Bells of St. Mary — published by Galerie Börjeson, Malmö, 1983 — is part of one of the most important late Pop Art portrait cycles of Andy Warhol. This series, consisting of 18 different Ingrid Bergman portraits (as Nun / Herself / With Hat), marks one of Warhol’s last fully realized and conceptually mature celebrity portrait projects before the Pop era as we historically define it closed. These works were produced with printed signature on glossy heavy paper — consciously echoing the visual tactility and reflective glamour of his silkscreens — yet issued as exhibition edition posters specific to Scandinavia by Börjeson, who championed American Pop and brought Warhol directly to European audiences.

Collectors know: scarcity + time + historical context is what drives long-term value. This Ingrid Bergman Börjeson cycle embodies all three — and these works have quietly, consistently risen for 20+ years because few complete sets survive, and single examples have been absorbed into private collections. Unlike Warhol’s Marilyns or Liz Taylors (which always appear in trade rotations), these Ingrid variants almost never come back once sold.

Each of the 18 can stand alone as a single iconic Warhol — but the power truly emerges through modular grouping. They can be installed as Warhol would have — diptych / triptych / grids of 4 / 8 / 16 — a scalable Pop wall that is both museum-worthy and architecturally dynamic. They are historic documents of the end of Pop Art at its most refined stage — when Warhol’s celebrity obsession became, finally, a meditation on legacy itself.

Acquiring one is already special. Acquiring multiple is building a Warhol chapter.

This is where the next generation of blue-chip Pop collecting is moving — toward the overlooked late bodies that are still properly priced today… and won’t be for long.Presented in a white wood frame with a 1-inch front profile and a 3/4-inch side profile, the artwork is mounted behind a 4-inch mat, creating a refined, gallery-style display that highlights Warhol’s iconic imagery.
