4to. Pp. 479. Frontis. photo portrait of Warhol by Robert Mapplethorpe Forward by Richard E. Oldenburg, Director of the Museum of Modern Art. Introduction by Kynaston McShine. Essays by Robert Rosenblum, Benjamin H. D. Buchloh, and Marco Livingstone. Illustrated throughout with color and black & white reproductions. Notes. Bibliography. Photo credits. Index. Bound in paper-covered boards featuring a polychrome camouflage pattern. Spine a tad sunned; final gathering uncut. With the printed clear mylar jacket, two small nicks on a corner each, price of $60 intact on the front flap. A retrospective of massive scale composed of some 300 works - Marilyn, Liz, and Elvis, Brillo boxes, Campbell soup, the purple cow (or is it a purple background?), Popeye and Superman, and the rest of American culture, all repackaged and sold anew, in the utmost American way - that is probably less beatification than, in 1989, full-tilt canonization. His early work provides ready road signs to the route he was heading, and provides fine insight into his genius.A handsome, presentable copy. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 7579
