Its a ridiculously awesome painting
If they can do it on Michelangelo's Last Judgment, I'm sure you could get someone to paint clothing on these characters... 8)
Or, if you're a more traditional chap, you can just go the fig leaf route to remove the man on man temptations and protect you from impure thoughts.

Also, this seems like a very trippy image for the 1530s... "St Bartholomew holds his own skin"

Now over two decades past his death, his massive productivity still keeps his work in the marketplace, in the news, and in the public's consciousness.
Warhol's individual print runs were, for the most part, almost always below 250 max. Many of them are much much smaller runs. His detail of Botticelli's Birth of Venus, for example, is only a run of 70 (granted their are 4 different color variations each with 70). The Marilyn's were 250 each (10 variations).

Bottom line-the artist can do whatever they want and I know that.

Warhol's catalog raisonne of prints alone is over 1700 -- and it's still considered incomplete. Multiply that by 250 and you get over four hundred thousand prints -- but 250 is a pretty loose estimate for his runs, due to large runs APs and PPs, not to mention EPS and TPs, which he famously did tons of. Hell, COMMITTEE 2000 had an AP run of 200(!). That's just APs, outside of the regular edition. And that doesn't even touch originals, which he also did a ton of -- the Authentication Board has a backlog of nearly 200 of them to clear from the last year of their existence alone.

I understand your point -- you don't want Geddes to turn into some hack like Thomas Kincade or Tarkay. But the difference between Geddes and those guys is that they just want to make money but Geddes actually has a singular, unique vision. And any artist with a unique vision, especially those whose vision challenges the norms, needs his or her work to be seen to survive. For those artists, throwing as much work out there as possible is not necessarily a bad thing at all, as long as they've got the talent to back it up.

That said, I think Lomier66 has the best model for Geddes -- standard editions most of the time, and one or two timed releases per year to appease those who can't f5 fast enough.

96,000 foot jump complete and he hit 536mph during the free fall stage. Next stop 120,000ft to break Col Kittinger's record of 102,000 ft... and possibly the sound barrier.
