A + P . Surprise F.S. IV 127A, from Wild Raspberries, 1959

Offset lithograph on paper with hand coloring

11 x 17 1/8 in 27.9 x 43.5 cm

This offset lithograph features Warhol's characteristic blend of commercial and fine art techniques, depicting what appears to be a whimsical culinary subject from his celebrated Wild Raspberries portfolio. The work combines mechanical reproduction with delicate hand-coloring, creating a charming tension between industrial process and artisanal touch. The composition displays Warhol's early exploration of consumer culture and everyday pleasures, rendered in his distinctive graphic style that would later define Pop Art. The hand-colored elements add unique variation to each impression, making every example subtly different. Created in 1959, this piece predates Warhol's iconic Campbell's Soup Cans by three years, representing a crucial moment when he was transitioning from commercial illustration to fine art. Wild Raspberries, produced in collaboration with Suzie Frankfurt, demonstrates Warhol's wit and his fascination with American culture. These early lithographs are increasingly sought after by collectors who recognize their importance in understanding Warhol's artistic evolution and his revolutionary approach to artmaking.
