Guy Hepner has facilitated 478 Warhol transactions totaling over $51 million across 292 collectors, positioning us among the most active dealers for the artist's print editions in the United States.","type":"text"}]},{"type":"paragraph","content":[{"text":"Recent auction activity confirms the series' stable market trajectory. Trial Proof impressions of Ingrid Bergman With Hat have achieved $69,300 (October 2022) and $68,750 (April 2019), demonstrating remarkable price consistency across a three-year window. The Herself composition has traded at SEK 600,000 (May 2016) and SEK 390,000 (November 2012), reflecting gradual appreciation in European markets. Complete portfolios represent the premium tier, realizing SEK 1,050,000 (November 2020) and SEK 820,000 (April 2019)—a 28% increase that underscores institutional appetite for full sets.","type":"text"}]},{"type":"paragraph","content":[{"text":"Within the broader Warhol market context, these figures remain accessible compared to the artist's auction peaks. Christie's achieved $195,040,000 for Shot Sage Blue Marilyn in May 2022—the highest price ever recorded for a twentieth-century work at auction. More recently, Mao prints reached $4,648,000 each at Christie's in May 2025, while Flowers compositions sold for $4,076,000 and $3,832,000 at Sotheby's that same month. The Ingrid Bergman series offers collectors genuine Warhol celebrity portraiture at a fraction of these benchmark prices, with demonstrated liquidity and upward momentum.","type":"text"}]},{"type":"horizontalRule"},{"type":"heading","attrs":{"level":2},"content":[{"text":"Technical Specifications & Historical Context","type":"text"}]},{"type":"paragraph","content":[{"text":"Created in 1983, the Ingrid Bergman portfolio was published by Galerie Börjeson in Malmö, Sweden, and printed by Rupert Jasen Smith in New York. The series comprises three distinct screen print images—With Hat, Herself, and The Nun—each measuring 38 x 38 inches on Lenox Museum Board. The standard edition consists of 250 impressions per image, with 30 Trial Proofs offering enhanced scarcity for advanced collectors.","type":"text"}]},{"type":"paragraph","content":[{"text":"Warhol selected source imagery spanning Bergman's iconic film career, transforming Hollywood publicity stills into his characteristic flat-color aesthetic. The With Hat image derives from her role in Casablanca, while The Nun references The Bells of St. Mary's. This was among the final major celebrity portrait series Warhol completed before his death in 1987, placing it within his mature period when technical execution reached its apex. The Swedish publishing origin reflects Bergman's own heritage, adding biographical resonance that distinguishes this portfolio from American-published editions.","type":"text"}]},{"type":"horizontalRule"},{"type":"heading","attrs":{"level":2},"content":[{"text":"Individual Works & Collector Preferences","type":"text"}]},{"type":"paragraph","content":[{"text":"The portfolio divides collector interest along distinct lines. Ingrid Bergman With Hat attracts the strongest demand, benefiting from immediate recognition of the Casablanca source material. Trial Proof impressions (TP 2/30, TP 11/30, TP 12/30) command premium pricing given their limited availability of just 30 impressions versus 250 in the standard edition. Our transaction data indicates that Trial Proofs typically trade at 40-60% above equivalent standard edition works.","type":"text"}]},{"type":"paragraph","content":[{"text":"The Nun compositions appeal to collectors seeking less ubiquitous Warhol imagery. Both standard editions (F.S. II 314) and Trial Proofs (TP 3/30, TP 12/30) remain available through dealer inventory more frequently than With Hat examples, presenting acquisition opportunities at comparative value.","type":"text"}]},{"type":"paragraph","content":[{"text":"Herself (F.S. II 313) represents the portfolio's most understated composition, favored by collectors who appreciate subtle color relationships over dramatic source imagery. Complete portfolios containing all three images remain the preferred acquisition format for institutional buyers and collectors building comprehensive Warhol print holdings. The portfolio format ensures matched condition, provenance continuity, and eliminates the challenge of assembling individual works across multiple transactions.","type":"text"}]},{"type":"horizontalRule"},{"type":"heading","attrs":{"level":2},"content":[{"text":"Authentication & Condition Considerations","type":"text"}]},{"type":"paragraph","content":[{"text":"All Ingrid Bergman impressions bear Warhol's signature in pencil on the front, accompanied by edition numbering. Trial Proofs carry the \"TP\" designation followed by their specific number within the 30-impression run. Standard editions display numbering within the 250-impression total. The verso should remain clean, with Lenox Museum Board exhibiting its characteristic weight and texture.","type":"text"}]},{"type":"paragraph","content":[{"text":"Condition assessment for this series focuses on several factors specific to 1983 screen prints. Examine color registration carefully—Warhol's late prints achieved exceptional precision, and any misalignment suggests handling issues or environmental damage. The Lenox Museum Board stock proves susceptible to toning along edges if improperly stored; uniform paper color across the full sheet indicates appropriate conservation history. Surface abrasions within the image area significantly impact value, particularly across facial features where the composition's visual integrity depends on clean ink layers.","type":"text"}]},{"type":"paragraph","content":[{"text":"Guy Hepner provides comprehensive condition reports with high-resolution imagery for every work, documenting any restoration, conservation treatment, or condition notes that affect market positioning.","type":"text"}]},{"type":"horizontalRule"},{"type":"heading","attrs":{"level":2},"content":[{"text":"Investment Analysis & 2026 Acquisition Strategy","type":"text"}]},{"type":"paragraph","content":[{"text":"The Ingrid Bergman series occupies a strategic position within Warhol's extensive print catalogue. Unlike Marilyn or Campbell's Soup Cans, which have achieved near-universal recognition and corresponding price escalation, the Bergman portfolio remains accessible to collectors establishing serious Warhol holdings. The 28% appreciation observed in complete portfolio sales between 2019 and 2020 suggests momentum that has yet to fully manifest in broader market awareness.","type":"text"}]},{"type":"paragraph","content":[{"text":"For 2026, we recommend prioritizing Trial Proof acquisitions. The 30-impression limitation creates genuine scarcity against growing global demand for authenticated Warhol works. Complete portfolios represent the optimal institutional acquisition, providing diversification across all three images while commanding premium positioning in any future disposition.","type":"text"}]},{"type":"paragraph","content":[{"text":"Standard edition works offer entry positioning for collectors building toward more significant Warhol acquisitions, with demonstrated liquidity enabling strategic repositioning as opportunities arise. The series benefits from Bergman's enduring cultural relevance and the increasingly recognized importance of Warhol's 1980s output within his complete artistic development.","type":"text"}]},{"type":"horizontalRule"},{"type":"heading","attrs":{"level":2},"content":[{"text":"Acquire Ingrid Bergman Works Through Guy Hepner","type":"text"}]},{"type":"paragraph","content":[{"text":"Guy Hepner maintains active inventory across the Ingrid Bergman series, including Trial Proofs and complete portfolios.
