Comment(s): Scarce, and rare signed. A signed impression from this series sold for $1,248 at Pierre Cornette de Saint Cyr, Paris, June 25, 2012, lot #420. Issued for the December 3, 1983, opening night exhibition of "Andy Warhol: Portraits of Ingrid Bergman" at Galerie Borjeson, Malmo, Sweden. Apparently there were very small quantities of this lithograph (our example) printed for distribution on opening night and they went quickly. This image of Bergman, one of the "trial proof unique prints," is based on a movie still from "Casablanca." Published by Galerie Borjeson AB, Malmo.
