Rupert Jasen Smith was an influential printer and collaborator who worked closely with Andy Warhol in the 1980s. Smith played a significant role in assisting Warhol with the production and dissemination of his iconic screenprints, contributing to the execution and technical aspects of the artworks.

Smith's collaboration with Warhol began in the early 1980s when Warhol was exploring new avenues of printmaking and expanding his artistic practice. Smith, with his expertise in screenprinting and knowledge of color separation techniques, proved to be an invaluable partner for Warhol during this period.

His work is in the permanent collections at the Whitney Museum NYC, Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC, The National Gallery of Art in DC along with many other well known museums around the world.
