Illustrated Wrappers. Artist Monograph. As New.. np (circa 650pp), profusely illustrated in b&w. Text in English and Swedish. Designed by John Melin, Gosta Svensson and Stig Arbman. In a protective clear acetate dustwrapper. This is the innovatively designed catalogue published on the occasion of the Andy Warhol exhibition at Moderna Museet in Stockholm from February to March 1968. Printed entirely in black and white on newsprint, it features groovy art direction in service of hundreds of full page photographs of Warhol's artwork, film stills, and The Factory scene by Rudolph Burckhardt, Eric Pollitzer, John D. Schiff, Billy Name, and a young Stephen (Eric) Shore. A spectacularly tight and bright example of the third edition of this brilliant Pop Art gem (whose first printing is cited on pages 144-145 of Martin Parr and Gerry Badger's "The Photobook: A History Volume II") containing the additional photographs of Warhol and Factory entourage taken at the exhibition opening showing virtually no age-toning to its newsprint pages nor any of the typical wear, handling, and creasing associated with this title. This copy was acquired in the mid-eighties directly from the inventory of the exhibition's curator Pontus Hulten at the completion of his time as the first chief curator of Los Angeles' then-new Museum of Contemporary Art.
