Lynn Goldsmith photographed the rock musician Prince during a concert at the Palladium in New York City in the year 1981. After Prince's 1984 Purple Rain album release, Condé Nast magazine Vanity Fair licenced a single black and white full-length portrait photograph (previously unpublished) for a planned feature as an artistic reference for an illustration that would only be used once. Further, "Purple Fame" was illustrated by Andy Warhol through colourized silkscreens of Prince's skull between 1984 and 1987, terming it the "Prince Series". This comprised multiple distinct works (16) including the one used in Vanity Fair magazine. The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts (AWF) maintained all 16 of Warhol's private works after his death. The Prince Series has been displayed since at inter alia the Museum of Modern Art, Tate, and the Andy Warhol Museum.
