1968 Campbell's Soup

The success of the Marilyn portfolio is encouraging.

The original series included 32 paintings on canvas. Warhol selects ten of them in his 1968 Soups, printed on 89 x 59 cm sheets with the same production quantity as the Marilyn, 250 copies plus 26 artist's proofs numbered A to Z.

1970 Flowers
1
184/250
2023 SOLD for $ 2.35M by Christie's
The theme of the Flowers was originally conceived by Warhol in 1964 as an offset lithograph of a photo of seven hibiscus blooms cut off from Modern Photography, from a hint by Henry Geldzahler to escape the Death and Disaster.
Limited to four regularly dispositioned flowers looking like a 2 x 2 ghost Marilyn in a single frame, a series of nine paintings in acrylic and silkscreen ink on canvas 207 x 207 cm was executed in 1964.
The example with white blooms was sold for $ 16M by Christie's on May 9, 2022, lot 23A. The example enhanced with fluorescent paint displaying three orange and one red blooms was sold for $ 35.5M by Christie's on May 16, 2024, lot 17 B. Behind the flowers, stems and leaves are green.
This four flower image was edited in 1970 in 250 screenprint copies plus 26 artist's proofs 91 x 91 cm. The deliberate absence of definition brings the viewer in a flat weird world of lush colors demonstrating the extent of the artist's modernist creativity..
The complete set 184/250, in very good condition and framed, was sold for $ 2.35M by Christie's on April 18, 2023, lot 43.

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.

1975 Mick Jagger
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.

1985 Ads
2022 SOLD for $ 1.74M by Sotheby's
After the Athletes series of canvases started in 1977, the prints edited by Andy Warhol entered a new phase. Each portfolio still consists of ten prints in a unique format 96 x 96 cm, but the set covers a theme with images different from each other. Colors may vary from one copy to another. An example is the Myths series from 1981.
Myth is thus made of ten screenprints in colors, for a total edition of 200 plus 30 artist's proofs. There were also 30 sets of trial proofs prepared before the edition for the selection of the colors.
The complete set T.P. 17/30 was sold by Christie's on November 13, 2014 for $ 1.08M, lot 387. The complete set 72/200 including nine with diamond dust, was sold for $ 870K by Sotheby's on October 22, 2020, lot 22.
Ads refers to the symbols of consumerism including automobilia, movies, entertainment and computer.
This poster-like series of ten screen prints 97 x 97 cm was edited in 1985 by Warhol in 190 copies plus 30 artist's proofs.
The complete Ads set 176/190 was sold for $ 1.74M from a lower estimate of $ 700K by Sotheby's on October 27, 2022, lot 8.

1983 Endangered Species
Intro
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.
For preparing his Endangered Species, Warhol had created a series of different color versions of each image, before selecting one to be printed in the final edition. These initial 'trial proofs' were preserved and released as an addition to the edition. Each trial proof is unique.
The complete set T.P. 16/30 of ten silkscreens was sold by Christie's on November 13, 2014 for $ 1.27M, lot 388. They are signed and have on the reverse the copyright inkstamps of the publisher Ronald Feldman Fine Arts and of the artist. The original justification page and cardboard portfolio box are also included.
Warhol's contribution to preserving biodiversity does not stop there. In 1986 a book titled Vanishing Animals is illustrated by him with colored drawings. The selected species are less famous but just as threatened as the Endangered Species.
