Comment(s): Warhol took a photo of this ‘Committee 2000’ print that he wanted to sell to Borje Bengtsson, the Swedish gallery owner. Bengtsson then put his gallery sticker on it (B & B Pop Art was the name of his first gallery) and Warhol signed the sticker. The silkscreen was printed by Rupert Jasen Smith, New York City; published by Committee 2000, Munich, Germany, to raise funds for projects commemorating the year 2000.
