“They offer enormous value, as they are unique, one-off pieces in terms of their color scheme and, in some cases, the interplay between color, halftone image, and lines. These trial proofs are equivalent to Warhol's 'originals,' except they are printed on handmade paper instead of canvas. They blur the traditional distinction between an original in the sense of a unique piece on the one hand and an edition in the sense of many identical copies on the other. The significance and value of these unique sheets are still not fully recognized due to their proximity to editions in terms of production and distribution. Warhol systematically produced trial proofs from 1980 onwards; before this, there were already several “unique edition prints,” i.e., editions of sheets or portfolios with varying color schemes within the edition, so that each copy is, strictly speaking, one of a kind.
(Jörg Schellmann, quoted from: Jörg Schellmann, Andy Warhol. Unique, Ostfildern/Munich 2014, p. 15).
A tribute to the icons of art history: The work features an excerpt from Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein's 'Goethe in the Roman Campagna', 1787.
