Beschreibung

Various printed components laid into a printed cardboard portfolio, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Designed by Andy Warhol and David Dalton. This third installment of "Aspen: The Magazine in a Box" from December 1966 was designed and edited by Andy Warhol and David Dalton. Subtitled "The Fab Issue," it is a tour de force survey of sixties American Pop Art, counterculture, and psychedelia. The varied contents include texts by Lou Reed, Bob Shelton, Bob Chamberlain and John G. Powers, a flexi-disc containing The Velvet Underground's notorious "Loop" on one side with the musical director from Timothy Leary's LSD "Religious Celebrations" Peter Walker's piece "White Wind - A Love Raga" on the other, the "Underground Movie Flip Book" with back-to-back and upside-down sequences from Jack Smith's "Buzzards Over Bagdad" and Andy Warhol's "Kiss," a set of twelve postcard reproductions of paintings from the collection of John and Kimiko Powers, the "first and only" edition of. the Warhol-inflected tabloid underground newspaper "Exploding Plastic Inevitable" along with the frequently missing Aspen Magazine subscription form and loosely inserted advertisements for Vanguard Records, Guild Musical Instruments, Paraphernalia boutiques, and the hip New York advertising firm of Fladell, Winston, Pennette, Inc. All of the interior contents present - nine of the eleven sections - are in at least Near Fine condition, however It is LACKING both Bob Chamberlain's "Homeward Bound" contribution and "The Berkeley Conference on LSD" Trips booklet. The fragile exterior box shows wear and rubbing, pronounced sunning along the foredge, and some foxing to the rear panel and the inside front cover. Still in all, it is a reasonably presentable-though-incomplete example of this iconic sixties design object with all of the Andy Warhol and Velvet Underground content still present. It has been priced accordingly. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 027559
