WILD RASPBERRIES (野キイチゴ)
This is a 1950s illustrated book by Andy Warhol. The piece features an offset lithograph that has been hand-colored with water-based dyes (from Dr. Martin), resulting in unique color variations for each print. This artwork consists of individual pages from a bound book (22 pages total), each framed separately. It showcases a charming quality that is distinct from Warhol’s other works.
The artwork exhibits overall light yellowing, and due to the delicate paper and hand coloring, there is a gentle waviness throughout.
Frame condition: New.
