Morning certificate of authenticity. Sunday B. Morning occupies a unique and intriguing place in the art world as a publisher of Andy Warhol’s iconic prints, continuing the artist’s legacy. Originally, Warhol collaborated with two anonymous Belgian associates to create new editions of his most famous works, such as the "Marilyn Monroe," "Flowers," and "Campbell’s Soup Cans" series. Using original negatives provided by Warhol himself, these prints were intended to be a commentary on mass production—a central theme in Warhol’s art. Following the conclusion of Warhol’s own collaboration with his Belgian associates, the Sunday B. Morning company continued publishing the prints independently of Warhol, employing Warhol’s original stencils/screens and with inks and paper consistent in quality with Warhol’s original editions. Sunday B. Morning editions remain highly sought after, reflecting Warhol’s own explorations of fame, replication, and image commodification. The 1970 Sunday B. Morning editions were marked with a black stamp on the back reading "Fill In Your Own Signature," which aligns with Warhol’s ideas about mass production and the fleeting nature of fame. Interestingly, Warhol himself added to the intrigue by signing some of these prints with the phrase, "This is not by me. Andy Warhol," a gesture that only increased their desirability, and reflected his notoriously enigmatic personality. Today, Sunday B. Morning produces officially authorized silkscreens from the original Andy Warhol photo-negative stencils/screens, now marked with a blue stamps on the verso to differentiate from the 1970 black stamped edition. These silkscreens are virtually identical to the original Factory Additions series and serve as a continuation of Warhol’s legacy in both technique and concept.
ANDY WARHOL (1928-1987) was an American visual artist, film director and producer. A leading figure in the Pop art movement, Warhol is considered one of the most important artists of the second half of the 20th century. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, advertising, and celebrity culture that flourished by the 1960s, and span a variety of media, including painting, silkscreening, photography, film, and sculpture. His works include some of the most expensive paintings ever sold. In 2013, a 1963 serigraph titled Silver Car Crash (Double Disaster) sold for $105 million. In 2022, Shot Sage Blue Marilyn (1964) sold for $195 million, which is the highest price paid at auction for a work by an American artist.
