Andy Warhol Signed “Lincoln Center Ticket” Screenprint (1967)
1967 – Color Screenprint on Wove Paper
Created in 1967 for the Lincoln Center/List Poster and Print Program in New York, Andy Warhol’s Lincoln Center Ticket distills the artist’s enduring fascination with everyday ephemera—here, the graphic authority of a simple admission ticket—into a museum-grade Pop icon. The bold palette and monumental scale translate commercial design into high art with the immediacy that defined Warhol’s 1960s output, anchoring the work to a pivotal cultural moment when mass media, celebrity, and modern institutions reshaped visual language.
Issued within an unsigned edition of 500 on wove paper, this particular example is distinguished by an original ink signature by Warhol on the sheet—an uncommon exception that materially elevates its rarity and collectability within the paper edition. The work’s publication context, coupled with the artist’s hand-signed authentication, positions it as both a period artifact and a blue-chip print acquisition, aligned with sustained demand in the Warhol market; recent scholarship has noted pronounced momentum in the category (including a reported +71.5% print-market performance in 2022 vs 2021, per “The Royal Warhol Year: 2023 Print Market Report”).
Mounted to foam core and showing age-consistent wear—corner separations and folds, an upper-left scratch with localized ink and paper loss, plus rubbing and light soiling along the sheet edges—this example retains the documentary presence collectors prize in original 1960s Warhol material, with condition elements reading as traceable evidence of real-world history rather than later reproduction.
