Comment(s): Rare. No auction records located. Issued to promote the 'Andy Warhol: Guns, Knives, Crosses' exhibition at the Galeria Fernando Vijande, Madrid, Spain. The show consisted of dozens of separate images of Warhol's renditions of guns, knives, and crosses. Apparently there were very small quantities of this lithograph printed for distribution at the opening night reception and they went fast. The reception was held on December 19th and the exhibition ran from December 20th, 1982 to February 12, 1983. Printed by Grafex, Madrid.
