A rare poster advertising Andy Warhol’s 1966 exhibition at the Boston Institute of Contemporary Art.  This show was only the second museum exhibition dedicated to Warhol, with nearly 40 iconic works—soon to become touchstones of 20th-century art history—as well as staging a performance of the landmark intermedia work Exploding Plastic Inevitable by Warhol and the Velvet Underground. This was a legendary exhibition for Warhol, and an early performance by the Velvet Underground.  The exhibition opened on October 1, 1966 and the Velvet Underground played with the Exploding Plastic Inevitable on October 29, in a  show the Boston Phoenix newspaper included as #18 in an article titled “The 40 Greatest Concerts in Boston History.”
The image reproduced is Warhol’s 1966 “Self Portrait’, based on a photograph by Rudolph Burckhardt.  The poster is printed in black and silver ink on card stock, 
Printed at the time of the exhibition, this poster is a true collector's piece, capturing an essential moment in Warhol's career as he was rising to international superstardom.
