About this work
Sachiko Goodman, a leading real estate broker and prominent art collector in New York, was not only a close friend of Andy Warhol but also his muse for the paired works Sachiko (FS.II 154) and Sachiko FS. II 155). In these portraits, Goodman’s bare shoulders and carefree smile as she turns toward the camera capture the warmth and ease of her relationship with Warhol. Across both pieces, Warhol overlays multi-colored squares, segmenting the composition and subtly shifting the viewer’s focus while preserving a unified visual theme. In Sachiko (FS. II 154), Warhol employs a muted color palette and allows the boundaries between the colored sections to remain imperfect, highlighting the underlying black-and-white photograph and allowing Goodman’s natural elegance to shine through. The print was produced by Rupert Jasen Smith, one of Warhol’s trusted collaborators at Warhol Enterprises. As a personal tribute to Smith's craftsmanship, Warhol signed the reverse of the piece with the inscription "To Rupert" in black ink, making this particular print the only known printer’s proof of Sachiko (FS. II 154). Sachiko (FS. II 154) belongs to a small series Warhol created featuring Goodman during a prolific period in the 1970s when he regularly socialized with celebrities, artists, and collectors. As Warhol’s fame grew, he received an increasing number of commissions for custom screenprinted portraits from wealthy socialites, musicians, and film stars. These commissions became a major element of Warhol’s artistic production and a significant source of income, solidifying his role as both a chronicler and a participant in the culture of celebrity and luxury that defined the era.

Guy Hepner has completed 478 Warhol transactions totalling over $51 million across 292 collectors, providing unmatched insight into the pricing dynamics of this particular series.","type":"text"}]},{"type":"paragraph","content":[{"text":"Recent auction performance demonstrates the series' strength in the secondary market. Sachiko (FS II.155) achieved $504,000 at auction in November 2021, followed by another impression of the same work realising $378,000 in May 2022. These results position the Sachiko prints within the upper tier of Warhol's commissioned portrait editions, outperforming many of his more widely recognised subjects from the same period.","type":"text"}]},{"type":"paragraph","content":[{"text":"Context within Warhol's broader market reinforces the significance of these figures. While Shot Sage Blue Marilyn commanded $195,040,000 at Christie's in May 2022—establishing the highest price ever paid for a 20th-century work at auction—the commissioned portrait prints offer collectors meaningful exposure to Warhol's practice at considerably more accessible price points. Current market activity remains robust: Mao F.S. II.96 and II.97 each sold for $4,648,000 at Christie's in May 2025, while Flowers prints reached $4,076,000 and $3,832,000 at Sotheby's the same month. Against this backdrop, the Sachiko series presents compelling relative value for collectors seeking distinctive Warhol holdings.","type":"text"}]},{"type":"heading","attrs":{"level":2},"content":[{"text":"Technical & Historical Context","type":"text"}]},{"type":"paragraph","content":[{"text":"Created in 1977, the Sachiko series comprises two screen prints on Strathmore Bristol paper, each measuring 40 x 30 1/4 inches. The works emerged from Warhol's prolific commissioned portrait practice, which dominated his output during the 1970s and generated substantial revenue for The Factory. This period saw Warhol execute portraits of socialites, business figures, and international personalities who paid significant fees to sit for the artist.","type":"text"}]},{"type":"paragraph","content":[{"text":"The choice of Strathmore Bristol paper reflects Warhol's preference for high-quality, archival substrates capable of holding the dense ink saturation his screen printing technique required. Published in an edition format consistent with his other portrait series from this era, the Sachiko prints exhibit the distinctive colour separations and layered printing that became synonymous with Warhol's approach to commissioned portraiture.","type":"text"}]},{"type":"paragraph","content":[{"text":"Culturally, the series demonstrates Warhol's expanding international clientele during the late 1970s. Japanese collectors and subjects increasingly entered his orbit as his fame spread globally, and the Sachiko portraits document this cross-cultural engagement at a pivotal moment in both Warhol's career and the internationalisation of the contemporary art market.","type":"text"}]},{"type":"heading","attrs":{"level":2},"content":[{"text":"Individual Works & Collector Preferences","type":"text"}]},{"type":"paragraph","content":[{"text":"The series consists of two distinct prints, each offering different compositional and chromatic approaches to the subject.","type":"text"}]},{"type":"paragraph","content":[{"text":"Sachiko F.S. II 154 presents the first variation, establishing the foundational portrait composition. Collectors frequently gravitate toward this work for its clarity of form and the particular balance Warhol achieved between photographic source material and graphic intervention. The colour palette distinguishes this impression from its companion piece, with collectors often expressing preferences based on how specific hues complement existing collections.","type":"text"}]},{"type":"paragraph","content":[{"text":"Sachiko F.S. II 155 demonstrates Warhol's characteristic practice of exploring multiple chromatic interpretations of a single subject. This work achieved the documented auction results of $504,000 and $378,000, indicating strong market validation. From our observation across hundreds of Warhol transactions, II.155 tends to attract collectors who already hold examples from other Warhol portrait series and seek cohesion in colour temperature or tonal range.","type":"text"}]},{"type":"paragraph","content":[{"text":"Both works reward close examination of Warhol's printing decisions—the registration of colour layers, the handling of flesh tones, and the degree of graphic abstraction applied to photographic features.

The 40 x 30 1/4 inch format requires careful examination of corners and margins, as works of this scale are susceptible to storage-related wear. Ink saturation should remain consistent across colour fields without fading, particularly in areas of dense coverage where screen printing can produce uneven aging.","type":"text"}]},{"type":"paragraph","content":[{"text":"Professional conservation framing with UV-protective glazing and acid-free mounting materials remains essential for preserving market value.

About Andy Warhol
Andy Warhol prints for sale and Andy Warhol paintings for sale at Guy Hepner Gallery, New York. Our inventory spans screenprints, silkscreens, and unique works across his most collected series: Marilyn Monroe, Campbell's Soup, Mao, Flowers, Myths, Ads, Cowboys and Indians, Dollar Signs, Cars, and Reigning Queens — all with full provenance and Feldman & Schellmann catalogue raisonné references. We also acquire Warhol. Contact our team for a free valuation.
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.
