COMMENTS  This is a reproduction of the painting WHAAM! (1963) in the collection of the Tate Gallery, London. The Tate has published this image in numerous editions as listed above.

There is a 4-digit code on some printings of the poster, which identifies the print run of a particular poster. For example, "3M88" would indicate that that poster was one of 3,000 copies printed in 1988.

This reproduction has often been mistaken for an original print.
