This captivating offset lithograph, by the iconic Andy Warhol, features his famous depiction of Marilyn Monroe. Issued as an invitation for the exhibition "Andy Warhol - A Print Retrospective" at Castelli Graphics, New York in 1981, this piece was part of a limited edition produced in collaboration with Andy Warhol's renowned art dealer Leo Castelli.

While the edition is notable in itself, this particular impression stands out due to Warhol's personal signature in black felt tip pen, a rarity among the total edition. Only a few examples from this edition bear Warhol's autograph, making this piece exceptionally valuable to collectors and admirers of Warhol's work. The lithograph originates from a US collection where it was carefully preserved and never framed. This meticulous care has ensured that the colours remain vibrant and unfaded, unlike many other examples on the market that suffer from colour degradation. The pristine condition of this artwork not only highlights Warhol's masterful use of colour but also enhances its desirability and collector's appeal.

An exemplary piece from Warhol's oeuvre, this signed invitation encapsulates the artist's enduring legacy and his profound impact on contemporary art.
