In the Bottom of My Garden: one plate (See Feldman & Schellmann IV.86)
This circa 1956 offset lithograph by Andy Warhol represents an early work from the artist's pre-Pop period, hand finished with watercolor to create a unique quality within the printed edition. The modest sheet size of 216 x 279 millimeters and unknown edition size suggest this was part of Warhol's experimental commercial art practice before his rise to prominence in the 1960s. The work exemplifies Warhol's interest in combining mechanical printing processes with manual artistic intervention, a technique that would inform his later silkscreen paintings and mass production aesthetic.
