Product description
The BE@RBRICK Series 51 Artist "Barbie" [Andy Warhol] (100%) unites two icons of American pop culture: Andy Warhol's legendary Pop Art and Mattel's timeless Barbie doll. This Bearbrick reproduces Warhol's famous 1986 painting "Barbie, Portrait of BillyBoy*," created during the artist's final year and now considered one of his most charming and unusual works. The all-over design features recurring portraits of Barbie's iconic face—blonde hair, blue eyes, radiant smile—against a vibrant red and gold background, all in Warhol's signature screen-printing style.
The story behind this artwork is as fascinating as the work itself: Warhol originally wanted to paint a portrait of his 23-year-old friend BillyBoy*, a jewelry designer and member of the 1980s New York downtown scene. BillyBoy*, who owned a collection of over 20,000 Barbie dolls and had written the book "Barbie: Her Life & Times," refused for years. When Warhol persisted, BillyBoy* finally replied: "If you really want to paint my portrait, then paint a portrait of Barbie, because Barbie, c'est moi!" Warhol took this literally and created a portrait of the then-popular "Superstar Barbie" doll—a work that simultaneously embodied Barbie and his friend BillyBoy*.
Warhol treated Barbie with the same artistic seriousness as his famous portraits of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, and Liz Taylor. For him, Barbie was the perfect symbol of glamour, fun, superficiality, and consumer culture—a plastic symbol of Western civilization. The original painting sold at Christie's London in 2014 for £722,500 (over $1.1 million), and a version now hangs in Mattel's headquarters in El Segundo, California. This Bearbrick is more than a collector's item—it's a tribute to Warhol's ability to create timeless art from mass-culture icons and to Barbie's status as a cultural phenomenon since 1959.

What packaging does this Bearbrick come in?
This Bearbrick comes in the official original Medicom Toy packaging (see specifications). This is often a collector's item in its own right and important for preserving the model's value. We take care to ensure secure packaging for shipping to prevent damage during transport.
What material is this Bearbrick made of and how do I best care for it?
Most Bearbricks are made of high-quality plastic (ABS plastic), unless otherwise stated in the specifications.

Direct sunlight and high humidity should be avoided to protect the colors and material over time and ensure long-term value retention.

How does the quality and mobility of this model differ from other sizes?
Medicom Toy's production quality is very high across all sizes. Larger models (400% or 1000%) often offer more space for detailed designs. However, the joints vary depending on the size: In larger models (400% and 1000%), the arms and legs usually rotate in a single plane. Smaller Bearbricks (especially 100% and 200%) often have ball joints, allowing for more flexible movement of the limbs.
