Comment(s): Scarce, and rare signed. An unsigned impression from this series sold for $1,193 at Dorotheum, Vienna, March 14, 2011, lot #365. Issued for the December 3, 1983, opening night exhibition of "Andy Warhol: Portraits of Ingrid Bergman" at Galerie Borjeson, Malmo, Sweden. The portfolio consists of three separate images of Bergman. Apparently there were very small quantities of this lithograph printed for distribution on opening night and they went quickly. This image, one of the "trial proof unique prints," is based on a movie still from "The Bells of St. Mary's." Published by Galerie Borjeson AB, Malmo.
