The color lithograph on wallpaper is hand-signed by Andy Warhol in felt-tip pen lower left.

Originally created as an installation element for Warhol's 1974 retrospective at the Musee Galliera in Paris, it was intended to cover the walls of the gallery in a repeating pattern per Warhol's practice of turning the gallery space into immersive, consumer-like environments. The sheets were initially printed in an unlimited edition from which approximately 100 individual sheets were hand signed in 1979 by Warhol in felt-tip pen on the lower left quadrant.
