'Wild Raspberries', circa 1959, is a portfolio of uniquely hand-coloured offset lithographs displaying Warhol's signature blotted line technique. Alongside 'A Gold Book', 1957, 'Wild Raspberries' is considered one of the most elaborate of Warhol's self-published works from this period. The series contains vividly hand-coloured illustrations of fanciful foods by Warhol, alongside irreverent and deliberately absurd recipes concocted by Susie Frankfurt - a prominent American interior designer and part of Warhol's innermost circle. As he did in '25 cats name[d] Sam, and One Blue Pussy', Warhol invited his mother, Julia Warhola, to contribute her signature, calligraphic script for the recipes.
