Signed on the occasion of the exhibition 'Warhol on Warhol' (self portraits) at the Anthony d'Offay Gallery in London. The current owner was worked at the gallery and asked Warhol to sign two posters during the opening of the show in 1986. In his diaries, Warhol recalls a night out in London during the exhibition: 'Sunday 6 July 1986. Got the Concorde, was met by Anthony d'Offay, went to the Ritz hotel [porters $20], had a really big double room, like three rooms. Cabbed to Mr Chow's [$7.50] all these great people, Mick and Jerry, all the English swells...' (source: The Guardian, 2 March 2008)
