Specialist note

“It’s not what you are that counts, it’s what they think you are.”

Whilst working on this portfolio Warhol created a series of different color versions of each image, before selecting one to be printed in an edition of 200. These initial 'trial proofs' were preserved and released as a formal component of the edition. Each print in this portfolio is unique.
