Moderna Museet, Stockholm, 1968 What has become one of the most interesting and sought after of artists books was produced as an exhibition catalogue for the show "Andy Warhol" at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, February - March, 1968--only three months before he was shot by one of his own Factory groupies, an event from which he nearly did not recover, and that significantly affected his subsequent art and life. With virtually no text, but dozens of full page black and white illustrations of iconic Warhol images, and hundreds more pages of black and white photographs by Rudy Burkhardt, Eric Pollitzer, John Schiff, and Stephen Shore, a fascinating picture of the artist, his world, and the people that spun around him is captured and presented in all of its exceptionally creative, yet hedonistically libidinous, sometimes destructive glory. More than a document, since Warhol himself had so much input into its production, this can truly be considered a work of art in its own right, and a capsule of a pivotal moment in time that would never be repeated.. Printed in illustrated wrappers, with bright Warholian flowers bleeding over both front and back covers, the interior of this copy is in excellent condition, save for some faint browning to the edges of the newsprint pages, consistent with age. The binding is tight, but there are some creases to the front cover, particularly at the lower edge, browning and creases in the spine, with some wear at the crown and foot. The spine has a 1/4 inch separation at the foot to the front cover, some surface losses of paper, and ink marks at the crown. All of these sound worse than they appear (images are available upon request) on what is overall an attractive copy of a major book by and about a man who arguably had the greatest influence on Western art and culture of the second half of the twentieth century.. more information

New York: Pace Gallery, New York NY, 1968 Limited edition artist's book by Lucas Samaras and published by Pace Gallery in 1968. This is number 9/100. Ten page book made up of individually die-cut boards bound together, and extensively and obsessively illustrated on every page. Each page presents visual games and designs along with a personal pantheon of mythological characters that include Pythia, Heroman, Hardman, Ohwellman, Rightnowman, Killman, Dickman, and a host of others. Extensive text in a variety of font sizes and formats tell the story among beautifully bright colored pop art designs. Inserted mini-books, foldout pages, and additional die-cut partially pasted down pages reveal and obscure the mysterious artist. Each time you look at the book, something else reveals itself! There is some insect damage to the rear paste-down "good by" page on the outside of the back cover, and some slight interior stains and accretions due to transference from the various elements of the book itself. Otherwise, an excellent early work by a major artist who continues to confound his audience, critics, and admirers, and whose work has refused to fit neatly into any art movement, classification, or philosophy.
