Satyric Festival Song, from Martha Graham

The following lot is a presumably unique proof in this color combination and also one of a very limited number to depict this composition. The figure seen on the left is not found in the editioned image, and has only been seen in a few other trial impressions for this series. The color combination is also radically different from the ultimate selection.

The print is an example of the constant experimentation that would go into the creation of each Warhol portfolio by the 1980. Images and colors would be screened purely for the sake of seeing the result of the combination. Warhol reveled in the details of these small changes and they were an integral part of his working process.
