New York: Farrar, Straus, & Giroux, 1976. First edition. Hardcover. Near fine. Large Quarto (12" x 9"). Unpaginated. Original dustjacket, spine lettered in gray over white cloth with black lettering on spine. Four frontispiece portraits or, if you will, four photo-illustrated "departmentalized" title pages. The essay by Harold Rosenberg is illustrated with photographs atop text. Extraordinary b/w full page photographs of a large, most illustrious group of celebrities framed by edges of film strips. Four of the photographic takes are fold-outs with Igor Stravinsky, The Chicago Seven, Andy Warhol and Factory Members, and the Mission Council. DJ sunned and discolored along edges and spine. Slight bumps at lower fore-corners, otherwise a fine copy.
