Unpacked In the 2022 Warhol Print Market Report are critical facts surrounding the purchase of a Warhol as an investment. With the recent astronomical performance by Warhol's Blue Marilyn which achieved a record $195mm in under four minutes of bidding, these two prints, Queen Elizabeth II and Rock Superstar Rick Jagger, are predicted to set similar records.

The first Queen Elizabeth II, for several reasons, including the Queen's age, as well as the low number of prints, which include "thirty with diamond dust, forty without, ten artist proofs, five printer proofs, and three H'ors Commerce. The complete set of sixteen reigning Queens has sold only six times in twenty years. The expectation is that as succession nears the collection will be in high demand."

The second print expected to appreciate is rock royalty and superstar Mick Jagger. Primary reasons for the anticipated rise in value include signatures of authenticity. "Both Mick Jagger and Andy Warhol signed each of the 3,030 prints, making it the only series signed by both subject and artist in its entirety." Additionally, "on a 450,000 high estimate a complete portfolio of screen-prints sold in June 2020 for $875,000."

With more than 15 dedicated pages to exhibition prints of Andy Warhol's work, the report also makes projections about Warhol prints to watch in the next five years, the long-term shift in Warhol collector demographics, and trends in the art world that affect the market.

Ron Rivlin is a Canadian entrepreneur and seasoned art dealer from Los Angeles, California. After making a name for himself in the music industry, promoting concerts and eventually starting a talent agency, Rivlin established Revolver Gallery in Beverly Hills in 2012 with the goal of owning as many Warhol's as possible. The gallery has since become the go-to place for Warhol collectors and fans, now located in West Hollywood. It is the only art gallery that specializes in Andy Warhol's work, and the largest gallery-owned collection of Warhol's in the world.

In 2015, Revolver brought three public exhibitions to Canada, consecutively breaking records for the largest exhibition of Warhol's work to ever take place in the country. Two years later, Revolver launched Andy Warhol: Revisited | Thirty Years Later in Los Angeles, running from February to August of 2017. The event, which was free to the public, showed over 200 Warhol's in rotation, and marked the first time the artist's Rolls Royce Silver Shadow was ever exhibited in public.
