Andy Warhol's Index Book. New York: Random House, 1967. Signed by Andy Warhol and inscribed to a former owner in red ink on the front sheet of the multiple with the illustrated nose with colored onlay.
Laid in is a posted, partial advert for a 1968 Warhol exhibition featuring an in-person appearance by the artist. Bound in publisher's original paper-covered boards with 3-dimentional overlayon front cover, over black cloth spine lettered in silver.
Very Good with some soiling and toning to covers. Complete with pop-up castle; paper accordion (soft squeak); multi-color airplane pop-up; "Chelsea Girls" paper disc attached on spring; folded geodesic shape on string (present but detached); 45 RPM flexi-disc (present but detached) with portrait of Lou Reed which supposedly plays an unrecorded song by Nico and the Velvet Underground; illustrated nose with colored onlay on a double-folded page (signed by Warhol as previously mentioned); pop-up Hunt's Tomato Paste can; sheet of color changing stamps (two squares missing); balloon present though fused between two pages as typically found. One of the best summations of Warhol's aesthetic in book form, signed by the artist at a 1968 exhibition.
