Note: Dr Mildred Scheel (1932-1985) was a German physician and the second wife of Walter Scheel, President of West Germany from 1974 to 1979. In 1974, she founded Deutsche Krebshilfe (German Cancer Aid), a charitable organisation dedicated to advancing cancer research and improving patient care. Her humanitarian work earned widespread admiration, and she was nominated for Germany's Woman of the Year in 1977, 1978 and 1979. Warhol, who became a close friend of Scheel, created this portrait in 1980. Combining photographic imagery with vibrant screenprinted colour, the work exemplifies the instantly recognisable portrait style he developed during the 1970s and 1980s. Mildred Scheel was published to raise funds for Deutsche Krebshilfe, the organisation she founded, and commemorates her enduring contribution to cancer research and patient welfare. 400-6000

Morning in Belgium, the print reproduces the composition and vivid colour contrasts of Warhol's "Marilyn" series, exemplifying the artist's fascination with celebrity, mass production and the commercial reproduction of images. Sunday B. Morning prints are distinguished by stamps on the reverse, specifically 'fill in your own signature', this example bears the publisher's characteristic blue-ink stamps, consistent with the later editions, dating from the 1990s to the present day. 200-400
889 Jim Gilbert (1933-1995), "Street Scene, Bethnal Green", ink with watercolour, signed and inscribed recto, titled label verso, 23cm x 30cm, within a stained wood frame.

While serving a six-year sentence in the 1960s, he took up painting as a means of psychological release. In 1972, two years before his release, he held his first exhibition in Bath and received the Arthur Koestler Award for Prisoner Art. The following year, he was commissioned by the Dylan Thomas Society to paint a portrait of the poet for presentation to US President Jimmy Carter.
