Perhaps the most iconic works by Andy Warhol in the 1960s are the series of silkscreens he produced depicting Marilyn Monroe, Campbell’s Soup Cans, and Flowers. Limited to just 250, these iconic prints came to be known as the Factory Editions after the vast studio Warhol and his collaborators occupied.
In 1970, following the success of the Factory Editions, Warhol began collaborating with a Belgian print studio called Sunday B. Morning with the intention of running further editions from the original screens and colour codes for a European market. These prints were stamped in black ink on the back to say ‘Fill In Your Own Signature.’ As a Pop Artist, Warhol was interested in disrupting distinctions between mass media and high art. By inviting the owners of these prints to sign the works themselves, Warhol was challenging the idea of authorship.
Today, the black ink Sunday B. Morning prints are very rare and are catalogued and recorded in Feldman & Schellmann’s definitive Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonné of his prints. Sunday B. Morning began publishing the prints again, after many years, in the late 90s. All these prints are also stamped – now with blue ink – on the verso with “fill in your own signature” and “published by Sunday B. Morning”. While ownership of Sunday B. Morning has changed hands a few times, the prints are still published by the same print shop in Belgium, using the same printing process they’ve used since their inception.

HERBARIA SERIES
"My abstract paintings are inspired by calligraphy My process is to dissect words, and their various elements, explore the study of positive and negative spaces and reconstruct them as new works By removing the need for symbols to convey a message, the work then begins to explore free space, time, movement and interconnectivity"‘
- Joanne Yulan
Since graduating from the Royal College of Art in 2001, Joanne Yulan Jong has worked as a fashion and textile designer, creative director and illustrator, dividing her time between Milan and London Her design work has always been informed by her eye for simple, elegant forms and a restricted palette of colours.
Her passion for drawing, often with inks and charcoals, has led her back to creating art in its purest form - painting. Her paintings and drawings, using traditional media such as inks, watercolours, charcoals and oils to industrial floor varnish, often reflect her Chinese heritage. She identifies herself, as an artist, using her Chinese name, Yulan.
Yulan’s latest series of works in oil on gesso panel, titled ‘Herbaria,’ demonstrate a transformation of her more calligraphic works into abstracted botanical studies that pay homage to the artist’s father- a renowned botanist - and his study of plant genetics from research trips to the forests of South East Asia

NEW WORKS IN SOFT PASTEL
'When I look at unpeopled landscapes, empty rooms, or imagined spaces I am thinking about what has been left out, these omissions are often at the centre of why I make work‘
- Sam Wood
Gloucester Room is delighted to present a series of new works in oil paint and soft pastel on paper by artist and illustrator Sam Wood
Since graduating from St Martins in 2012, Wood has established himself amongst a new generation of young British artists who are moving away from the recent dominance of abstract painting in contemporary art toward a new form of allegorical figuration.
Central to Wood’s practice is the importance of drawing- both in dry and wet mediawhere broad brushstrokes of diluted oil paint underpin lyrical linework in soft pastel. The immediacy of Wood’s mark making demonstrates a highly responsive eye that captures any given subject with an economy of means. Rendered in joyful, saturated colours the resultant works radiate effects of light that ripple across the paper, creating a sense of restless energy as lively as the natural subjects they depict.
Since 2018 Sam Wood has presented solo exhibitions with David Collins Studio and Shreeji News, with a forthcoming show at TM Gallery, Kings Cross in January 2023. Since 2018, he has worked collaboratively with luxury brands including Harrods, Liberty, Bryan O’Sullivan Studio, Atelier 27 – Paris, and Ennismore. He regularly undertakes large scale commissions for both corporate and residential projects and has work represented in private collections internationally.
