Lot Note(s): Signed in black marker, lower right. Edition unknown, presumed small. Cream wove paper. The full sheet. Fine impression. Very good condition; would be very good to fine but for a one inch tear in the upper left margin, not into the image, would be masked out by the mat when framed. Literature/catalogue raisonne: cf. Feldman/Schellmann pp.213-214; II.64-73. Comment(s): Scarce, and rare signed. The auction record for another impression of this print (signed) is $3,600 realized at Swann Galleries, NYC, February 5, 2013, lot 251. This "Flowers" image is slightly different from those of the limited edition published in 1970. According to Feldman/Schellmann (pg. 214, fourth edition, 2003) "prints exist which differ from the published edition (example illustrated on previous page)." The example illustrated on pg. 213 is our example and that sold by Swann, with different colors. Based on a photograph of hibiscus flowers by Patricia Caulfield in "Modern Photography," June, 1964. Published by Nouvelles Images, France, 1970. Image copyright © Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York. [29231-6-2400]
