Lot Essay

In the early 1960's Arturo Schwarz of the Galleria Schwarz, Milan, commissioned twenty contemporary American artists (including most of the artists of the "Pop Art" circle) to each make one etching for inclusion in an album he would publish in his International Avant-Garde series. Included in the album is Andy Warhol's first print (and only etching) Cooking Pot and Roy Lichtenstein's first Pop print, On.
