The artwork “A Boy for Meg,” created by Andy Warhol in 1962 in the United States, is an oil, emulsion, and tempera piece characteristic of the Pop Art movement. The dimensions of the artwork are 182.9 x 132.1 cm, and it falls within the figurative genre.
The artwork portrays a black-and-white rendition of a newspaper cover, specifically the New York Post, dated Friday, November 3, 1961. Prominently displayed on the upper left is a blue banner featuring an image of a man alongside the text “Sinatra and his ‘Rat Pack’.” Below the banner, there is a weather report. Dominating the central section is the headline “A BOY FOR MEG” in bold black letters. Adjacent to this headline is an image of a smiling woman, adorned in what appears to be a formal dress and jewelry, captured in grayscale. There is an indication at the bottom of this image that directs the viewer to “See Page 3.” The artwork vividly encapsulates the media culture and celebrity obsession emblematic of the Pop Art era.
