Original artwork description:

When Andy Warhol was shot by Valerie Solanas in 1968 the bullet the bullet pierced his spleen, stomach, liver, esophagus, and both of his lungs. Warhol's life was saved by surgeon, Dr. Giuseppe Rossi at Columbus Hospital in New York, and in gratitude Warhol gave Rossi a set of 10 of his infamous Campbell's soup prints. Mrs Rossi was unaware of the importance of this gift and put 8 prints in a box under their bed, displaying the other two. Meanwhile, Warhol refused to pay the hospital what he owed for the treatment, prompting Rossi to send him a letter with the words 'Pay up you blowhard' written on the envelope. Warhol never paid the bill. The Rossi's eventually sold the prints at Christies for up to $37,500 per print. The eight prints kept in the box were in almost perfect condition, the other two had faded. 'Cheesecake in Different Colours' is for you Andy! (A suitable discount will be accepted for the purchase of this picture and its twin brother 'Cheese in Different Colours')
