Torte A La Dobosch F.S. IV 130A, 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 presents a whimsical illustration of a multi-layered Dobos torte, rendered in Warhol's distinctive early commercial art style. The dessert is depicted with delicate hand-coloring that brings warmth to the printed foundation, showcasing thin chocolate layers stacked between golden sponge cake and topped with glossy caramel. The composition demonstrates Warhol's refined draftsmanship from his award-winning career as a commercial illustrator, before his transition to Pop Art celebrity. The piece comes from Wild Raspberries, a limited edition artist's book collaboration with Suzie Frankfurt featuring fanciful recipes and elegant food illustrations. This work offers collectors a rare glimpse into Warhol's formative years and his enduring fascination with consumer culture and luxury goods. Created during his successful Madison Avenue period, it foreshadows the Campbell's Soup Cans that would revolutionize contemporary art just a few years later. The intimate scale and hand-colored details make each impression unique, combining fine art printmaking with Warhol's signature exploration of desire, consumption, and American abundance.
