Throughout his career, Andy Warhol worked with assistants and printers to create numerous print portfolios. In 1977 he met printer, Rupert Jasen Smith, who worked with him to create the series Space Fruit. These prints demonstrate Warhol’s experimentation with a the classical tradition of the still life.
