Flowers.

Color screenprint printed in purple on smooth, tan wove paper, 1964. 205x205 mm; 8x8 inches, wide (full ?) margins. Signed and dated in pencil, lower right.

With an authentication from the Andy Warhol Authentication Board, Inc., New York, with the ink stamp and identification number "A259.076" in pencil, verso.

This unpublished print relates to Warhol's offset lithograph Flowers, 1964, created as an announcement for an exhibition at Leo Castelli Gallery, New York, in an edition of approximately 300 (Feldman 6). The current work is not listed in Feldman.

These works were based on a photograph of hibiscus flowers by Patricia Caulfield in Modern Photography, June 1964. Warhol also made paintings of this subject.
