Made in collaboration with Andy Warhol’s master printer Alexander Heinrici, each screenprint is hand-printed on monumental Deluxe Lana Quarelle paper, hand-made in the Vosges region of France. The artist is involved in every step of the printing process, redrawing new plates in the same style as the master print makers throughout art history. Each Limited Edition Screenprint is inspected, signed, numbered and dated by the artist, and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
