Pepsi Please by Andy Warhol Grano-Silkscreen (1986). Signed. It was during the 1960s that Warhol switched to silkscreen prints which he produced serially to make art of mass-produced items and to mass produce the art itself. By minimizing the role of his own hand in the production of his work and declaring that he wanted to be "a machine", Warhol sparked a revolution in art.

But the image is truly made memorable by the woman's fantastic dress of yellow, red and green petals, which is set off against a deep forest-green background.
