"Perhaps the most iconic works by Andy Warhol in the 1960s, are the series of silkscreen editions that he produced depicting Marilyn Monroe, Campbell's Soup Cans, and Flowers. Limited to just 250, these iconic editions came to be known as the 'Factory Editions,' after the vast studio that Warhol and his collaborators occupied in midtown Manhattan. In 1970, following the success of the Factory Editions, Warhol began collaborating with a Belgian print studio called Sunday B. Morning, with the intention of running further editions from the original screens and colour codes for a European market. These prints were stamped in black ink on the back to say, 'Fill In Your Own Signature.' As a Pop Artist, Warhol was interested in disrupting distinctions between mass media and high art. By inviting the owners of these prints to sign the works themselves, Warhol was challenging the idea of authorship. Sunday B. Morning began publishing the prints again, after many years, in the late 1990s. All these prints are also stamped - now with blue ink - on the verso, with the inscriptions 'fill in your own signature' and 'published by Sunday B. Morning.' While ownership of Sunday B. Morning has changed hands a few times, the open edition prints are still published by the original printers in Belgium, using the same screens and printing process that they have used since their inception."
