Artist's blindstamp, published by Galleria Schwarz, Milan. This little print is ground breaking. Considered Andy Warhol's "first print" in his mature pop style and is no. 1 in his catalogue raisonne of prints. Here Warhol has cropped an appropriated image (a found advertisement). Up until this point Warhol worked on his commercial illustrations in a more fluid hands-on approach based on his ink line drawings or with rubber stamps. Warhol's desire to have his art made like a machine, by a machine—is successfully executed here as his only photoengraving. It is printed without any grandiose fanfare—very direct and mechanical which is exactly what the artist was seeking.
