SELF-PORTRAIT. SILKSCREEN ON PAPER. 1966. ONE OF c. 300.

NYC: Leo Castelli, 1966

58.4 x 58.4cm, black silkscreen on silver coated paper. One of the announcement posters that were issued as folded exhibition mailers. The image is that of a young Warhol with his fingers to his mouth. Around 300 were signed and numbered and others sent out – this being one of the latter examples. This however has been flattened by a professional paper consultant and framed conservational in wood and glass – the fold lines are minimised greatly. Ref: Warhol Prints II.16. VG+.
