Overview

Andy Warhol's concept of art expressly included the reproduction, the multiple. Yet, the unique work of art did not lose its value, even in Warhol's Factory. Ever since he began making his famous portrait prints in the 1980s-most of which were commissioned-his prints were carefully limited and signed for his wealthy buyers. For forty years Jèorg Schellmann has been collecting multiples and editions. His portfolio of Warhol works are now sought-after collector's items. This publication presents high-quality prints commissioned under the aegis of the Edition Schellmann und Klèuser from 1980 to 1987. Besides the later portfolio prints, they are trial proofs printed on rag paper, and as veritable individual works of art, they are particularly valuable today. Characteristic of these unique pieces of art are the outlines hand-drawn by Warhol, which elevate the print out of territory of the halftone and colour planes into the realm of \"painting.\"
