Sunday B. Morning’s ‘Flowers’ Prints – Variants 11:64 to 11:73 and Their Place in Warhol’s Legacy

Few works in the history of modern art are as instantly recognisable as Andy Warhol’s Flowers. First unveiled in 1964, the series marked a bold departure from his celebrity portraits of Marilyn Monroe, Liz Taylor, and Elvis Presley. Inspired by a photograph of hibiscus blossoms, Warhol transformed the image into a series of vividly coloured silkscreens, flattening nature into Pop perfection.

More than half a century later, Flowers remains one of Warhol’s most beloved motifs. And thanks to Sunday B. Morning, collectors can own vibrant, high-quality editions made directly from Warhol’s original silkscreen screens with a fascinating backstory.

The Story of Sunday B. Morning

In the early 1970s, Warhol began collaborating with two Belgian friends to produce a new set of Flowers prints using his original negatives and colour codes.

The collaboration didn’t last. Accounts vary, but it’s widely believed that disagreements over control and the potential impact on the market for Warhol’s earlier editions caused the relationship to break down.

By that point, however, the Belgian publishers already had the necessary materials and continued the project without Warhol’s further involvement.

These became the Sunday B. Morning editions, stamped on the reverse with the phrases “Published by Sunday B. Morning” and “Fill in Your Own Signature”. This tongue-in-cheek mark perfectly reflected Warhol’s fascination with authorship, reproduction, and the commodification of art.

In true Warholian style, he reportedly signed some of these prints in silver marker, joking that they were “better than the originals.”

Understanding the Numbers – From 11:64 to 11:73

Each Sunday B. Morning Flowers print is assigned a number corresponding to a specific colourway within the portfolio. Collectors use these codes when sourcing or selling particular variants.

We are pleased to offer the following numbers for sale:
11:64, 11:65, 11:66, 11:67, 11:68, 11:69, 11:70, 11:71, 11:72, 11:73.

While the composition, four square flowers against a flat background, remains constant, the colours vary dramatically. Whether purchased as a standalone artwork or as part of a growing set, each variant offers its own personality and visual impact.

Warhol’s Wider Vision

Sunday B. Morning’s Flowers are more than decorative, they extend Warhol’s grander commentary on mass production, repetition, and the commodification of art. Just as he endlessly reimagined Marilyn Monroe’s portrait or the Campbell’s Soup Can, the Flowers series invites viewers to see the same subject anew through shifts in colour and tone.

By owning a Sunday B. Morning Flowers print, collectors are participating in one of the 20th century’s most enduring conversations about originality, authorship, and the role of the art market.
