This screen print comes with a certificate of authenticity in which is stated that the provenance is from a collection of a neighbour of Andy Warhol. See at The Archive is Limited: “Cow” (black and white, red) and “Mao” (2 heads, black and white) that were also part of her collection.

The left top corner of this print has a very light flattened dog ear. For the rest in good condition; a more than attractive lived-through original print.
