1967 Marilyn
​Intro

The method used by Andy Warhol of mixing painting and silkscreen on canvas was effective for the multiplication of images. However there is much more simple and the solution has been known for centuries : printing on paper. He coined the name Factory Additions as the publisher of his prints.

The first released set is Marilyn, in 1967, in a single format 91 x 91 cm. The set of ten is made of the single image reappropriated from a 1953 film advertisement that Andy had famously used in 1962 as the symbol of the demise of the American dream.

Each one of the ten images displays other combinations of intense flat colors, departing various moods from the original glamorous image. Andy also enhanced the emotional effects by changing the alignment of some screens.

The Marilyn set was edited in 250 copies numbered 1 to 250 and 26 artist's proofs numbered A to Z.

1972 Mao
2012 SOLD for £ 1.6M by Sotheby's

In 1972 the US President Nixon makes his historic travel to China to meet the Great Helmsman.

Warhol then appropriates Chairman Mao's portrait from the 1966 cover of the Little Red Book. The most powerful statesman in the world is for Warhol through that image the symbol of the mass consumption.

For the first time, Warhol had edited the prints before preparing a painted version. He never made clear if he had or not some polical intentions in that project which had been reportedly suggested by his dealer Bischofberger.

The Mao portfolio of screenprints is created by Warhol according to the same format as the 1967 Marilyn, 10 color variants from a single image 91 x 91 cm, in an edition of 250 plus 50 artist's proof sets and 4 printer's proof sets for the use of Styria Studio. The publisher was Castelli.


In the past, Chinese censors had long stopped any versions of Warhol's Mao on their land. The story changed when the art market went to a globalization after the 2008-2010 crisis. The complete set number 10 was sold by Christie's in Hong Kong on May 29, 2010 for HK $ 6.6M from a lower estimate of HK $ 3M.

​The copy from the Gunter Sachs collection was the artist's proof set 1/50. It was sold for £ 1.6M by Sotheby's on May 22, 2012. from a lower estimate of £ 300K, lot 31.

​2022 SOLD for $ 1.93M by Sotheby's

The Mick Jagger set of 10 screen prints  in large portrait format 112 x 74 cm was edited by Warhol in 1975 in 250 copies plus 50 artist's proofs. Departing from the Marilyn, Flowers and Mao compositions, that set is made of ten different positions from photos taken by the artist. The colors were applied in flat blocks for an improved sense of movement.

The full set 80/250 was sold for $ 1.93M from a lower estimate of $ 800K by Sotheby's on October 27, 2022, lot 17. The prints are signed in felt tip pen by the singer of the Rolling Stones and half of them are also signed by Warhol.

2021 SOLD for £ 2.9M by Sotheby's

At the instigation of an activist, Warhol publishes a psychedelic series on the Endangered Species in 1983, in 150 copies 96 x 96 cm plus 30 artist's proofs. He also paints canvases from the same images. The animals are chosen from among the most spectacular species protected by the Endangered Species Act of 1973.

The playful effect is more obvious than for the other series. Warhol enjoys making up his new stars with pop colors as he had done in the past with Marilyn and Mao. Most are copies of photographs, but the giant panda recaptures the stylized graphics of the artist's early days, when he was directly influenced by advertising art.

The set 125/150 was sold for £ 2.9M from a lower estimate of £ 350K by Sotheby's on March 17, 2021, lot 84. Please watch the video shared by Sotheby's.
