Andy Warhol’s S & H Green Stamps was created by the artist in 1965 for his first retrospective which was held at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia. Created as the exhibition’s invitation – an image on one side, exhibition text on the reverse, the work was named in honor of Warhol's friend 'Sam Green' who he had met in 1964 and who was director of the ICA and spearheaded the exhibition which both Warhol and Edie Sedgwick attended.
