"Triple Elvis" is a iconic 1963 Pop art portrait by Andy Warhol. It features three repeated images of singer and actor Elvis Presley, taken from a publicity still for his 1960 Western film Flaming Star. Created during Warhol's early rise in the Pop art movement, the work explores themes of celebrity, repetition, and mechanical reproduction—central ideas in Warhol’s art. This piece is part of a series of Elvis portraits and achieved remarkable fame, selling for $81.9 million at Christie's in 2014, making it one of the most expensive paintings ever sold.
