"In the mid-1980s, Warhol drew direct inspiration from Picasso’s work on paper, Tête (1960), to produce a series entitled Heads (After Picasso)... Although he never met Picasso, Warhol was good friends with his daughter, Paloma. In 1975, he produced a portrait of her which experimented with screenprinting techniques, based on enlarged polaroids and blocks of coloured graphic art paper to create a collage-like effect. The work was featured in the portfolio, Hommage à Picasso – a posthumous celebration of the artist published in 6 volumes and comprising works by 68 artists, including David Hockney" (Halcyon Gallery).
