In The Witch (F. & S. II.261), Warhol takes a familiar cultural figure—the witch—and transforms her into a shimmering, high‐gloss icon of our pop‐mythology. The work invites us to ask: what makes someone iconic? How do images of good and evil become archetypal? And how does reproduction shape our relationship to myth? With bold colour, glittering surface and an unmistakable Pop Art attitude, Warhol twists a childhood figure into an adult meditation on celebrity, image and folklore.
