The diptych is based on the painting “Flipper” from 1965. The two-color print is juxtaposed with the print of the original three-color version. Blinky Palermo only decided to produce an edition of the two-color version after the trial proof, and a few weeks later, he decided to sell the sheets as a diptych. By this time, however, only a few single sheets had been sold, and part of the edition had suffered surface damage. The artist sorted out and destroyed these sheets in 1972. In his catalog raisonné, Fred Jahn assumes that from the original edition of 90, only between 50 and 60 copies have survived.
