Sunset, 1972 is a Screenprint on wove paper. This is unique colour variant. Signed and numbered 40 out of 40 in pencil on the reverse. Published by David Whitney, New York. In 1972 Andy Warhol was commissioned by the architects Johnson & Burgee to decorate the Hotel Marquette in Minneapolis. In 1981, upon removal from the hotel, due to renovation, each print was signed and numbered from an edition of 470. The present work comes from an additional 40 portfolios of four screenprints produced to complete the total edition of 632. Warhol made each print using only three screens—one for bands of background color, one for the sun, and one with a single color dot pattern. The screens were inked in various color combinations and were printed with varying registrations to make each print unique.Provenance as follows: Private Collector, New York: Private Collection, California. Previously sold for $70,000usd

All Screenprint inks are still very bright, vivid, bold. No scuff marks, bending, rips or repair work. Paper is in a pristine condition. No smudging on the pencil signature, which is completely fluid & in soft pencil. Overall, print is in a remarkable condition considering age.
