Andy Warhol (American, 1928 - 1987). "Mick Jagger [first edition] [the complete "first edition" set of 10 announcement cards in the original printed folder - a "mini portfolio"]". Color offset lithographs. 1975. Neither signed in the plate nor in marker. Intended edition of c250 of which only a very small number survive. Cream smooth wove paper. The full sheets. Strong, bright colors. Fine condition; each card numbered consecutively from one to ten, verso. Literature/catalogue raisonne: cf. Feldman/Schellmann II.138-147. Provenance: Private collection, Sweden, thence to our consignor. Overall size: 6 1/16 x 4 in. (154 x 102 mm). Our example, the first edition, is much scarcer than the second. The first edition is neither signed nor numbered in the plate and is 1/16" shorter in height than the second. The second is signed in the plate both by Warhol and Jagger and is numbered in the plate 2/250. Apparently the Castelli staff took photographs of the screenprints before Warhol and Jagger signed them and sent them to the printer. Realizing the mistake, the print run was halted and most impressions destroyed. The second edition was done later after the actual screenprints were signed, the photographs taken by Warhol himself. Co-published by Multiples Inc., New York, and Castelli Graphics, New York. Based on Warhol's portfolio of 10 color screenprints of Mick Jagger from 1975.
