Andy Warhol (American, 1928 - 1987) Marilyn Suite of Ten, Screenprint on museum board, ""Andy Warhol (American, 1928 - 1987) Marilyn Suite of Ten, Screenprint on museum board, From Sunday B. Morning Portfolio. Published December 2011, with Sunday B. Morning Certificate of Authenticity. Dimensions: h: 36 x w: 36 in. each. Published in Switzerland from Warhol`s original screens, Sunday B. Morning prints are authorized reproductions which are noted in the Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonne. Sunday B. Mornings were originally intended as a Warhol joke...with a stamp on the back which said `fill in your name here`. They are considered to be authentic reproductions and were authorized and included in the Catalogue Raisonne. Barbara DeVorzon writes on her website: In 1967, Andy Warhol made a Portfolio of 10 screen print portraits of Marilyn Monroe from the publicity photo for the 1953 film """"""""Niagara."""""""" The portfolios of 10 screen prints were printed in an original edition of 250. All of the prints from the original edition of 250 were signed in pencil and numbered with a rubber stamp on verso; some signed in pen; some initialed on verso; some dated. Aside from this edition, 26 complete sets of Artist`s Proofs were printed, signed and lettered A-Z on verso. The first edition of the Marilyn and Flowers series were very successful and many hoped the artist would print another edition. In the 1970`s Warhol worked with German and Belgian printers for his European exhibitions. They proposed an edition of the Marilyn`s and Flower`s for the European market. However, Warhol was not interested and refused to help with a European edition. The original screens were brought to Europe anyway and the first unauthorized prints were produced in slightly different colors from the original portfolio. The edition of 250 unauthorized prints were stamped in black on verso, """"""""Published by Sunday B. Morning"""""""" and """"""""Fill in Your own Signature."""""""" Andy Warhol inscribed some prints, """"""""This is not by me"""""""" and was well aware of the European editions and came to accept them as they were printed and published by two of his close friends. Due to the popularity of the first unauthorized edition, Sunday B. Morning has continued publishing the prints from the original screens. The subsequent editions are published in original colors, not numbered, and are stamped in blue ink to mark the difference with the first edition. Starting Price: $1600

Peter Collinson (1694-1768) was a gardener and natural scientist, particularly known for his correspondence with Benjamin Franklin concerning electricity.Collinson provides a lengthy biographical notice of his friend Lumley Lloyd to the front endpapers of the first volume, ‘These books of the Hortus Malabaricus was the Legacy of my Dear Friend Docr. Lumley Lloyd D.D. of Cheam in Surry ... he was from his youth a great Lover of Flowers & Rare Plants, he told mee when he was a young studient at Cambridge about the year 1686 that he purchased from Holland three or four seeds of the Narsturtium Indicum ... at half a crown each, being then a great rarity for it came from India but two years before, he was so impatient to see it flower that he would not stirr out of Doors least it should Blow in his Absence. He well remembered and could name all the striped flowers Auriculas that was to purchased when he was a Lad att the 12 or 14th year of his age ... He told mee a long detail of the Gardners he purchased them off & that he valued no brick for a new flower - he told mee the original or mother of all the fine Auriculas that was then in being was Raised from the Seed of an Auricula named Blinds: Cream after the name of a Gardner at Mortlack that first produced it from seed, it was a flower that had good properties and was in request in my memory, but now anno 1746 I question if it is allowed a place in the pott or is to be found; Mr. Potter, Gardner at Micham had the greatest success in raising surprising fine Flowers from Seed with whome the Docr. laid out considerably every year notwithstanding he raised great many every year ... He with Mr. Potter’s assistance raised annually an infinite variety of most charming flowers & tulips he had almost without number produced from seed & breeders. So great was his love for this flower, of which he had the finest I ever saw in any collection - that he had two long and high iron frames which inclosed Two Beds Each, with a Walk in the Middle, this was all Coverd with Canvas to screen the Tulips from the Sun, it was very agreeable viewing them in the Heat of the day under this shade. These Two Iron Frames cost Eighty Pounds - all the Ranunculas & Anemony Beds had Lower Wood Frames & Canvas coverings. He spared No Expence to prolong His Favourite Flowers… My Valuable Friend was for greatest part of his Life sadly affected with the Gout, but when he could no longer bear being wheeld about his Garden in a Little Coach, so great was his Love for his darling amusement, he had his plants & flowers brought into his Library which was finely ornamented with them’.
