アンディ・ウォーホルが1983年に制作した「Ryuichi Sakamoto」は、40×40インチの鮮やかなキャンバスで、日本の作曲家でありエレクトロニック・ミュージックのパイオニアである坂本龍一を、このアーティストの特徴であるポップ・アートの手法で捉え、有名人の写真を色彩、反復、魅力の研究に変貌させている。


構図は、正確なシルクスクリーンの輪郭線で描かれた坂本のスタイル化された顔を際立たせている。彼の黒く質感のある髪は、桃色のパネルを背景に、白い三角形の部分で交差している。ウォーホルは手描きのタッチでシルクスクリーンの工程を強化し、坂本の顔の特徴を際立たせた。


1980年代までに、坂本龍一はイエロー・マジック・オーケストラの共同創設者として、またエレクトロニック、オーケストラ、映画音楽の作曲における先駆的なソロ活動で世界的に有名になった。ウォーホルは、数少ない西洋人以外の男性を被写体に選ぶことで、坂本の世界的な影響力と美を認め、この肖像画を画家の作品の中でも特に珍しいものにした。坂本龍一」は、ミック・ジャガー、デビー・ハリー、プリンスといったアイコンと並ぶ有名人の肖像画の広範なシリーズの一部であり、商品としての名声に対するウォーホルの魅力の一例である。


この絵のリトグラフ版は、テート・ロンドンとスコットランド国立美術館に所蔵されており、その文化的重要性を裏付けている。


。この作品は、音楽界で最も革新的な人物の一人への活気に満ちたオマージュであると同時に、イメージ作りに対するウォーホルの不朽の探求の証でもある。その大胆な色彩と象徴的な主題は、音楽史、ポップ・アートの遺産、異文化間の対話の結びつきを求める現代のコレクションに共鳴し続けている。
