Trial Proof Edition of 36
Andy Warhol's work within the Cowboys and Indians series stands as a vivid embodiment of iconic Wild West imagery, merged seamlessly with his renowned pop art aesthetic. Originating from the 1980s, this collection probes into the intricate tales and myths enveloping American history, with a keen focus on the idyllic depictions of the Wild West. Among this series, the action picture print emerges as a particularly dynamic piece, intertwining historical personas and quintessential Western symbols with Warhol's characteristic application of striking colors and pattern repetition.This print captures a scene filled with vigor and motion, epitomizing the spirit of classic Western dynamism through a contemporary, stylized lens. Warhol applies a color scheme that marries vivid and subdued hues, forging a visual contrast that spotlights the primary subjects against a balanced backdrop. This approach not only attracts the observer's gaze but also incites reflection on the cultural resonance of these historical narratives in today's world.Through selecting subject matter for this series, including the action picture print, Warhol deeply interacts with themes like celebrity, media portrayal, and the crafting of American identity. By placing iconic Western figures and scenes alongside mass culture and advertising elements, Warhol propels a critical dialogue on the narration and re-narration, shaping and reshaping, of these stories in the collective American psyche.Moreover, this print, along with others in the Cowboys and Indians series, questions the conventional demarcations between elite art and popular culture, scrutinizing the artist's role in the commercialization of history and identity. Warhol's creations blur the distinctions between historical authenticity and narrative fabrication, fostering a conversation on the influence of visual elements in molding our perception of history. With its compelling visuals and intricate themes, this piece stands as a testament to Warhol's lasting impact as a central figure in the pop art movement and his capacity to stimulate contemplation through his exploration of American symbolism.

Andy Warhol's Cowboys and Indians (1986) stands as one of the most poignant and historically charged portfolios in the artist's entire body of work — and the most significant he completed before his sudden death in February 1987. Comprising ten screenprints catalogued as FS II.371–380, this series is among the most sought-after Warhol portfolios on the secondary market today.
The portfolio brings together icons of the American West in Warhol's signature flat, high-contrast style: Annie Oakley, General Custer, Sitting Bull, John Wayne, Teddy Roosevelt, the Northwest Coast Mask, War Bonnet Indian, Kachina Doll, and Mother and Child. The juxtaposition is deliberate — Hollywood legends share the same visual language as Native American cultural figures, collapsing the mythologised West into a single, unified pop statement.
The standard portfolio was published in an edition of 250, with additional printer's proofs and artist's proofs. Each print measures 36 × 36 inches, printed on Lenox Museum Board. The portfolio was published by George C. P. Munn and Samuel J. Wagstaff Jr. and printed by Rupert Jasen Smith, New York.
As the last completed portfolio before Warhol's death, Cowboys and Indians carries exceptional art-historical weight. Collector demand has remained consistently strong, with individual prints and complete portfolios regularly appearing at Christie's, Sotheby's, and Phillips. Complete portfolios in fine condition are increasingly rare on the open market. Individual images — particularly John Wayne and Sitting Bull — command a significant premium due to their iconic imagery and crossover appeal to both Warhol collectors and Americana enthusiasts.
For serious Warhol collectors, Cowboys and Indians represents a genuine endpoint — the final sustained creative statement from an artist at the height of his cultural influence. Acquiring individual prints or the complete portfolio is both an aesthetic and historical investment. Guy Hepner Gallery maintains a curated selection of Cowboys and Indians prints for sale, offering works with full provenance and condition reports. Contact us to enquire about current availability.

Andy Warhol (1928–1987) is the defining figure of American Pop Art and the most commercially traded artist of the twentieth century. Born Andrew Warhola in Pittsburgh to Slovak immigrant parents, he rose from commercial illustrator to the architect of a cultural movement that permanently dissolved the boundary between fine art and mass media. His Manhattan studio, The Factory, became the epicentre of New York art and celebrity culture from the early 1960s until his death in February 1987.
Andy Warhol art for sale spans an extraordinary range of subjects, media, and price points — from intimate drawings and unique canvas paintings to large signed editions. His signature subjects include Campbell's Soup Cans, Marilyn Monroe, Mao Zedong, Dollar Signs, Flowers, Reigning Queens, Cowboys and Indians, the Ads portfolio, and the late Cars and Endangered Species series. Each body of work reflects his obsessive engagement with repetition, celebrity, and commodity culture.
The market benchmark for Warhol was set in May 2022 when Shot Sage Blue Marilyn (1964) sold at Christie's New York for $195 million — the highest price ever achieved at auction for an American artwork. Recent print sales confirm sustained institutional demand: Mao editions achieved $4,648,000 each at Christie's in May 2025; Flowers editions achieved $4,076,000 and $3,832,000 at Sotheby's in the same season.
Andy Warhol paintings for sale — unique acrylics and silkscreens on canvas — represent the rarest and most valuable tier of his output. Subjects produced in multiple unique variations include Flowers, Skulls, Shadows, Dollar Signs, and the late Oxidation Paintings. The Rorschach series (1984) and Camouflage works appeal strongly to institutional collectors. Abstract Expressionism paintings from the late 1970s and early 1980s remain undervalued relative to his iconic print series and represent a compelling collecting opportunity.
Andy Warhol paintings require substantial documentation: exhibition history, gallery receipts, and provenance tracing to The Factory or first-generation dealers. Prices range from mid-five figures for works on paper to eight figures for major canvas paintings. Our team can advise on current pricing and condition assessment across all painting categories.
Warhol's screenprints represent the most accessible and widely collected segment of his output. Andy Warhol prints for sale range from early unsigned offset lithographs to hand-signed, numbered editions produced with Castelli Graphics, Factory Editions, and Ronald Feldman Fine Arts. Signed, numbered editions from key series — Marilyn Monroe (1967), Flowers (1970), Mao (1972), Ads (1985), Endangered Species (1983), Cowboys and Indians (1986), and Reigning Queens (1985) — command the strongest collector demand and the deepest secondary market liquidity.
Condition, provenance, and edition size are the critical variables. Works printed on Lenox Museum Board or high-grade rag paper with consistent registration and original colouration are the most desirable. Fading, foxing, or retouching materially affects value.
The Cars portfolio (F.S. II.356–362), produced in 1985 as a commission from Mercedes-Benz to mark the centenary of the automobile, stands among the most refined of Warhol's late print series. Ten screenprints on Lenox Museum Board render historic Mercedes-Benz models in Warhol's characteristic flat colour and photographic silkscreen technique — his iconic commercial sensibility applied to the history of industrial design. Signed and numbered in editions of 100, with separate artist's proofs, the Cars series regularly achieves $25,000–$75,000 per impression and commands significant premiums when offered as complete portfolios.
Warhol's production in the final decade of his life — broadly 1978 to 1987 — encompasses some of his most conceptually ambitious work. The Knives series (1981–82), Guns series (1981–82), and Crosses (1981–82) form a trilogy of loaded American objects rendered in the same neutral Pop vocabulary he had applied to Soup Cans twenty years earlier. The Boots and Dollar Bills paintings sit alongside late unique canvases from the Camouflage series (1986–87) and the haunting Last Supper paintings completed weeks before his death. Works from this period are systematically underrepresented in collector awareness relative to their importance to the broader catalogue and represent genuine long-term collecting opportunities.
Andy Warhol self portrait prints are among the most sought-after works in his catalogue — a subject he returned to from 1966 to 1986. The most collected examples include:
Self portrait prices range from $18,000 for early unsigned screenprints to $400,000+ for the 1978 and 1986 signed works in excellent condition. Authentication requires reference to the Feldman & Schellmann catalogue raisonné and, where applicable, a former Andy Warhol Art Authentication Board certificate.
