THE PHILOSOPHY OF ANDY WARHOL

New York and London: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1975. Very good in very good jacket.. Inscribed early printing, boldly signed and dated by Warhol with an original drawing of his iconic soup can. Compilation of Warhol's shorter aphoristic sayings and longer pieces, much of it adapted from taped conversations with the artist's collaborators and ghostwriters. Which is to say: an entirely Warholian production. Included with the book is the original receipt from the Washington D.C. department store Woodward & Lothrop where Warhol did a signing in October, 1975. With the soup can and provenance, an excellent copy. 8.25" x 5.5" Original quarter orange cloth over yellow boards. In original unclipped ($7.95) black printed dust jacket designed by Herb Lubalin. [14], 242 pages. Inscribed ("To Peggy and Conner") and signed in full by Warhol in black marker across half-title page, with an original drawing of a Campbell's soup can dated "Oct 1975." Loosely laid in is the original 1975 Woodward & Lothrop receipt for the book. Mild edgewear, rubbing to jacket. Some foxing to verso of jacket and to edges of book. Slight lean. Bright.
