Vine Leaf Marinade F.S. IV 141A, from Wild Raspberries, 1959
Offset lithograph on paper with hand coloring
11 x 17 1/8 in 27.9 x 43.5 cm
Andy Warhol's Wild Raspberries is a charming and unconventional project that blends elements of art, humor, and culinary creativity. This unique piece was a collaboration between Warhol and his friend, the interior decorator Suzie Frankfurt, created in 1959. Wild Raspberries is not a typical artwork per se but rather an illustrated book—a whimsical and satirical cookbook—that reflects Warhol's early forays into mixing art with everyday objects and cultural references. In this collaborative effort, Frankfurt provided handwritten recipes while Warhol contributed his playful and whimsical illustrations. The recipes featured in the book are not meant to be taken literally; rather, they embody a humorous and absurd take on traditional cookbook instructions. They often include fanciful or exaggerated descriptions, making the book more of a playful commentary on culinary culture rather than a practical guide for cooking. Warhol's illustrations in Wild Raspberries are characteristic of his early style, featuring whimsical drawings that accompany the recipes. The images are quirky, playful, and sometimes satirical, capturing the spirit of the book's humor and unconventional approach to culinary arts. The book stands as a testament to Warhol's inclination toward blurring the lines between high and popular culture. Wild Raspberries is a playful departure from conventional art forms, showcasing Warhol's interest in collaboration, satire, and pushing the boundaries of traditional artistic mediums. Although Wild Raspberries may not be as widely recognized as some of Warhol's later and more iconic works, it remains a sought-after collector's item due to its limited edition and the association with Warhol's early explorations in merging art with everyday life and cultural commentary.

Wild Raspberries occupies a distinctive position within the Warhol market as the artist's earliest collaborative print project and a genuine rarity in dealer inventories. Produced in 1959, four years before the iconic soup cans and celebrity portraits that would define Pop Art, these offset lithographs with hand coloring represent Warhol during his transition from successful commercial illustrator to the most consequential artist of the twentieth century.
Auction records from Guy Hepner tracking show measured but consistent secondary market activity. One plate realized $18,750 in April 2008, while another sold for GBP 12,000 in October 2006 and USD 10,000 in April 2008.
These figures gain context against Warhol's broader market dominance. Shot Sage Blue Marilyn (1964) commanded $195,040,000 at Christie's in May 2022—the highest price ever achieved for a twentieth-century artwork at auction. Mao F.S. II.96 and II.97 each reached $4,648,000 at Christie's in May 2025, while Flowers examples sold for $4,076,000 and $3,832,000 at Sotheby's that same month. Within this context, Wild Raspberries offers entry into museum-quality Warhol at a fraction of later print series pricing.
Wild Raspberries emerged from Warhol's collaboration with interior designer Suzie Frankfurt in 1959. Frankfurt contributed the intentionally absurdist recipes—none actually functional—while Warhol created the illustrations and his mother, Julia Warhola, provided the distinctive handwritten text in her idiosyncratic script. The project was self-published in an edition of approximately 34 complete portfolios, making surviving individual sheets genuinely scarce.
Each work measures approximately 11 x 17 1/8 inches (with Calves Head Giant and Stewed Cepes at the larger 17 1/8 x 21 1/2 inches) and was produced as offset lithographs on paper with hand coloring applied by Warhol and assistants. This technique—mechanical reproduction enhanced by unique hand intervention—directly anticipates the Factory production methods Warhol would systematize in the following decade.
The portfolio's title parodies Ingmar Bergman's 1957 film Wild Strawberries, positioning the project within the sophisticated cultural milieu Warhol inhabited before achieving mainstream recognition.
The series comprises nineteen plates, each depicting fantastical dishes with deliberately illegible recipe text. Guy Hepner currently offers eight works from this portfolio, each demonstrating Warhol's fluid draftsmanship and camp sensibility.
One plate has historically commanded premium pricing among collectors, likely due to its political reference (Landon was the Republican presidential candidate who lost to Roosevelt in 1936) and strong compositional presence. Collectors drawn to Warhol's later political works—the Mao series, Vote McGovern—often find this piece particularly compelling.
Another plate references the famous gossip columnist, connecting to Warhol's lifelong fascination with celebrity and media culture. This sheet appeals to collectors building thematic holdings around Warhol's portraiture and celebrity subjects.
Other plates represent more accessible entry points, having traded in the $10,000-$12,000 range. For collectors beginning a Warhol holding or seeking works with strong decorative presence, these pieces deliver authentic early Warhol at approachable price points.
Several plates appeal to collectors interested in Warhol's commercial illustration roots, showcasing the elegant line work that made him one of Madison Avenue's most sought-after talents throughout the 1950s.
Wild Raspberries authentication requires specialist expertise given the works' age and the limited documentation surrounding their original production. Each sheet should be examined for paper consistency, printing characteristics, and hand-coloring application typical of the 1959 production.
Catalogue references provide the standard framework, though these early works predate the more rigorous documentation systems established for later print series. Provenance tracing proves particularly important—sheets from dispersed original portfolios or early private collections carry stronger market confidence.
Condition sensitivity runs high with works on paper from this period. Collectors should expect and accept minor age toning consistent with sixty-five-year-old stock, while avoiding sheets with significant foxing, tears, or fading to hand-colored passages. The hand coloring itself varies between impressions; this variation represents authentic production characteristics rather than condition defects.
Guy Hepner provides comprehensive condition reporting and authentication verification on all Wild Raspberries works.
Acquire Wild Raspberries
Guy Hepner maintains active inventory in this series with works available for immediate acquisition. Contact our New York team for current availability, detailed condition reports, and pricing on individual sheets or curated groupings.
This series belongs to the vast and varied body of print and painted work Warhol produced across five decades, during which he moved fluidly between celebrity portraiture, consumer product imagery, historical appropriation, and personal or commissioned subject matter — all filtered through the same signature screenprint process that flattened the distinction between mechanical reproduction and fine art. Warhol's insistence on treating commercial printing techniques as a primary artistic medium, rather than a secondary reproductive tool, remains one of the most influential positions in postwar American art.
Warhol's work is held in the permanent collections of major museums worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, Tate Modern, and the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, which maintains the most complete public archive of his output across all periods and subjects.

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.
