Hardback with Dust Jacket
Out of Print - EXTREMELY SCARCE
This is this scarce true First Edition square hardback catalogue with dust jacket and mylar protective cover, of the historic Andy Warhol retrospective at the Tate Gallery in 1971. This volume is 100 pages and is profusely illustrated with text by Richard Morphet.
This IMPORTANT retrospective - planned in the Sixties and realized in 1971, at the height of Warhol's fame, was one of the most important and touted shows of the era - and one that ensured Warhol's international supersardom. It features his most iconic works from the Sixties, including Marilyn, 1964 (front cover) and Liz (1963) back cover, along with Campbell's Soup Cans, Elvis, Jackie, Electric Chairs and car crashes.
This is a well known, long sold out and out of print book and now very scarce publication that truly needs no introduction. At the end of this volume is a Checklist of the 123 Works in the exhibition, along with the 59 works reproduced, but not in the exhibition, as well as a list of lenders- people like Mr. and Mrs. Roy Lichtenstein, the Sidney Janis Gallery, Ileanna Sonnabend, Robert Rauschenberg, Mr. and Mrs. Burton Tremaine, etc.

There is considerable wear to the dust jacket, including creasing, color fading, and several tears, including an approx. a inch tear at the spine, and a one inch tear on the top of the back cover. But the dust jacket is not price clipped, and on the bottom even has the original 1971 square price sticker!! The inside pages are clean with no markings - and the illustrations inside are superb. NOT ex-library; NO markings whatsoever.
This rare hardback volume measures 8 1/4 square inches, and the catalogue itself has become iconic!
