ANDY WARHOL

First edition, first printing of the catalogue for Warhol's first major European retrospective. Illustrated card covers, with a design after Warhol's 'Flowers' silk-screen. 614 black-and-white reproductions, divided into three sections: black-and-white reproductions of Warhol's work, followed by two sections of photographs of Warhol and his associates by Billy Name and Stephen Shore. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, with light rubbing and creasing to the extremities, the spine with a small chip to the tail is mildly darkened with light vertical creasing. The contents, with a little spotting to the top edge, light toning to the edges of the pages and a long thin brown mark (14cm) to the rear page (visible both sides), are otherwise clean throughout and free from inscriptions or stamps. Housed in a bespoke, felt lined, cloth solander case. An attractive example of a notoriously fragile publication.
