About this work

Andy Warhol's *Fish F.S. IIIA 40* (1983) belongs to one of the most personal and least commercially driven series in his late career — the Fish works created for the *Paintings for Children* exhibition at the Bruno Bischofberger Gallery in Zürich. Catalogued in the Feldman/Schellmann raisonné as F.S. IIIA 40, this print shares the series' characteristic qualities: bold, exaggerated forms, saturated colour, and the playful, toy-like simplicity that distinguished the Fish works from Warhol's better-known commercial output. The series was never released as a formal limited edition, making individual works scarce on the secondary market. ## Fish F.S. IIIA 40 For Sale Andy Warhol Fish prints for sale are among the rarer finds in his print catalogue. F.S. IIIA 40 appears infrequently — its limited production and personal origins make it a compelling acquisition for collectors seeking works outside Warhol's mainstream commercial editions. The Fish series also extended to hand-inscribed silk scarves — personal holiday gifts from Warhol — further underlining the intimate, non-commercial character of these works. Guy Hepner Gallery presents authenticated Fish works with full provenance. [Enquire →](/andy-warhol/fish)

About the Fish Series

Andy Warhol Fish Prints For Sale

In 1983, at a moment when the art world expected Warhol to look outward — toward celebrity, commerce, catastrophe — he turned, unexpectedly, to the aquarium. Created as a personal project and backdrop for Paintings for Children at the Bruno Bischofberger Gallery in Zürich, the Fish works were never released as a formal limited edition, lending them a rare, intimate quality within Warhol's vast output.

Rendered in bold, exaggerated forms against vibrant backgrounds and reminiscent of children's toys in their simplified shapes and eye-catching colors, the fish reflect Warhol's enduring fascination with popular culture and the objects of everyday life. Yet there is nothing naïve about the gesture. By enlarging his subjects to larger-than-life proportions and saturating them with bright, electric hues, Warhol elevates the mundane to the realm of high art, challenging traditional notions of value and beauty.

The Fish series also extended to silk scarves — each one hand-inscribed by Warhol as a personal holiday gift — transforming a playful motif into a rare and intimate artwork. The origins of the fish symbol in Warhol's work remain unknown, though much of the Bischofberger exhibition centered on paintings of animals, suggesting a quiet, perhaps whimsical, late-career meditation on the natural world.

Taken together, the Fish works stand as a tender aside in an oeuvre defined by cool detachment — proof that even Warhol, master of the surface, could find something worth looking at beneath the water.

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

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

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.

Andy Warhol Prints For Sale

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.

Andy Warhol Cars Prints For Sale

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.

Andy Warhol Late Paintings and Works on Paper

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 For Sale

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 F.S. II.7 (1966) — the iconic fist-to-chin composition in vivid Pop colourways
  • Self Portrait F.S. II.12–22 (1978) — nine large-format prints; auction results regularly $80,000–$250,000
  • Self Portrait with Fright Wig (1986) — produced a year before his death; widely regarded as his definitive late statement
  • Camouflage Self Portrait F.S. II.316 (1986) — the artist dissolved into his own imagery

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.
