Andy Warhol

Screenprint in colors, 1972, signed in ballpoint pen on the verso and stamp-numbered 35/250, on Beckett High White paper, from the portfolio co-published by Castelli Graphics and Multiples, Inc., New York, nearly the full sheet, printed to the edges, generally in good condition except the sheet trimmed at bottom and from touched-in repairs at the sheet edges (at lower right extending through the signature), occasional creases in the sheet with associated ink cracking, framed

The print is generally in good condition as catalogued. The height has been trimmed circa 1/2 inch and the width circa 1/4 inch. There is a touched-in repaired area at the lower left sheet edge measuring 2 1/2 by 1 inch, including a 1/2 inch vertical tear, disrupting and smudging the signature. Additional touched-in repairs are visible along the lower sheet edge at left, the left sheet edge at top, the upper sheet edge at left and the upper right sheet corner. There are creases throughout the sheet causing the ink to crack, although not resulting in ink loss.
