The Bird.

Felt-tip marker and black ink on cream cloth dinner napkin, 1978. 450x475 mm; 17 3/4x18 3/4 inches. Signed in black ink, lower center recto.

Acquired directly from the artist by the current owner. On an evening out while dining at the Rounds Restaurant in Manhattan, Warhol took his waiter aside and offered him this drawing saying "... someday this is going to be worth a lot. Save it for the right time."
