Screenprint in colors on Museum board, with the blue Sunday B. Morning inkstamps on the reverse indicating the edition of unknown date and size. 36 x 36 in. (sheet), 45 x 45 in. (frame).Note: Andy Warhol's iconic portfolio of ten screenprints of Marylin were reproduced three times by publisher Sunday B. Morning using the original screens. In 1970, a series was printed in new color variations in an edition of 250, by Swiss publisher Sunday B. Morning. They are stamped in black on the reverse 'Published by Sunday B. Morning' and 'Fill in your signature'. (see Feldman/Shellmann Appendix II no. 22-31). Andy Wahol signed some of these prints 'This is not by me. Andy Warhol'. In 1985, a third set was produced with a stamped signature. It is not known how many of these were printed. A fourth set of Marylins, referred to as the Blue Ink series, were made from reproductions of the original screens. These are stamped in blue ink on the reverse, as here. This edition is of unknown size and date.,
