Andy Warhol ( 1928 - 1987 ) is one of the singularly most well known Contemporary artists of all time. His imagery is recognized world wide.

Edvard Munch ( 1863 - 1944 ) was a Norwegian Expressionist painter and printmaker, whose best known work " The Scream ", has become one of the most iconic images of world art.

Warhol's first immersive experience of the Norwegian master Edvard Munch was on a 1971 visit to Oslo when he spent time at The National Gallery and The Munch Museum. Impressed at how prolific Munch was as a printmaker. Eventually securing a commission to paint what became known as the " After Munch Series ". In 1983 a total of 15 works were commissioned.

Warhol came to this imagery as a function of respect for Munch, not only as an artist, but as a printmaker. Munch was not only incredibly prolific, he was also technologically innovative and experimental, something that Warhol really responded to. These are two artists who are closely linked to the idea of experimenting. It is their willingness to experiment that made them both so tremendously important in the history of printmaking.
