Andy Warhol released the "Cowboys and Indians" Limited edition print Portfolio in 1986. It was his last edition with 10 prints. They are screenprints on Lenox Museum Board. Rupert Jasen Smith was the printer and Gaultney, Klineman Art, Inc. was the publisher.
Understanding the "Sitting Bull" in Andy Warhol's 1986 "Cowboys and Indians" Portfolio is confusing. Twice in the last month I've had customers confused about the "Sitting Bull". Well, it is confusing and I've never seen a good explanation. There is even more confusion surrounding "John Wayne" but that is for a later article! Below is the breakdown of the Portfolio:
Each of the 250 Regular Edition "Cowboys and Indians" Portfolios contain 10 different prints:
- Geronimo
- Mother and Child
- John Wayne
- Plains Indian Shield
- Custer
- Annie Oakley
- Kachina Dolls
- Indian Head Nickel
- Northwest Coast Mask
- Teddy Roosevelt
Each of the unique 36 Trial Proof Edition "Cowboys and Indians" Portfolios have the above listed 10 plus 4 more for a total of 14 prints. Each print has a unique color combination.
- Sitting Bull
- Buffalo Head Nickel
- War Bonnet Indian
- Action Picture
To add to the confusion, an unknown number (possibly 250) of like-colored "Sitting Bulls" were printed for the Regular Edition but not used. Its thought that they were to be one of the 10 in the Regular Edition but were replaced by another image at publication. These are available on the market and are not signed or numbered. These Unpublished Sitting Bulls have been authenticated by the Andy Warhol Art Authentication Board and Estate of Andy Warhol.

Is it safe to write on the back of a stretched canvas with a sharpie?
I paint with acrylic paint. I usually sign my paintings on the front in paint, but add my full name, date of completion, and title of painting on the back with a sharpie. Will this eventually bleed through? Could this damage my painting in the long run? I've read that acrylics are very resilient once dried, but I still was not sure. ~Thanks
Actually I Checked my Sharpie's and they do say acid free. Does this make a difference?
Sharpie might bleed through acrylic it will surely bleed through oil paint. Also because sharpies are not acid stabilized they will deteriorate the canvas in the long run and might bleed through out the canvas. What I do is sign the back of the canvas with paint just like the front. Also another thing you might do is sign on the stretcher bar but if somebody would re stretch the canvas than it would be lost.
