Tattooed Woman Holding Rose MEDIUM: Fine Art Lithograph on Paper IMAGE SIZE: 11" x 29" EDITION SIZE: Unknown ARTIST: Andy Warhol DESCRIPTION: Tattoo Ladies served as Andy Warhol's calling card in 1955. He used this piece as his business card and he would fold it up and drop it off at advertising agencies that he was interested in working with. The woman's pin-up silhouette is filled with logos of companies he hoped to work for. In the center, we see the artist's old-fashioned NYC phone number and subsequent references to the Murray Hill neighborhood he lived in at the time. Not many Pop Art pieces are more iconic than this! This offset lithograph is printed with orange ink on green onion skin paper with horizontal folds. It measures 11 x 29 and is embossed in the lower left-hand corner with the Andy Warhol Art Authentication Board Inc. stamp and the Estate of Andy Warhol ink...

SUSIE Q. SMITH Medium: Newspaper comics Distributed by: King Features Syndicate First Appeared: 1945 Creators: Linda and Jerry Walter 6.5 X 18 Like her contemporaries, Aggie Mack, Candy and Patsy Walker (before her conversion to a superhero), Susie Q.

She attended high school, where her teachers often seemed unreasonable to her, interacted with the opposite gender in a typically adolescent way, and her parents didn't completely understand her. And she was cute and perky as only a teenage girl can be. Susie was the star of a comic strip distributed by King Features, the biggest of the comic strip syndicates, whose other offerings have ranged from Jackys Diary to Prince Valiant...
