Raid the Icebox 1 with Andy Warhol: An Exhibition Selected from the Storage Vaults... (Inscribed)
- Providence: Museum of Art Rhode Island School of Design, 1969
Providence: Museum of Art Rhode Island School of Design, 1969. Minor rubbing to illustrated wrappers; near fine. An uncommon work to feature Warhol's signature.. First Edition. Octavo. Catalogue from the landmark exhibition Raid the Icebox 1, conceived by Dominique de Menil and the Director of the RISD Museum of Art, Daniel Robbins, as the first in a series of artist-curated shows that pulled from the invisible collections housed in the Museum's vaults. Andy Warhol’s iteration would be the only such show realized; premiering at the Institute for the Arts, Rice University (Houston, Oct. 29, 1969 - Jan. 4, 1970), before traveling to the Isaac Delgado Museum (New Orleans, Jan. 17 - Feb. 15, 1970) and concluding at RISD (Apr. 23 - Jun. 30, 1970). The well-designed catalogue, featuring texts from de Menil, Robbins, and David Bourdon, documents 404 of the exhibited objects; further illustrated after Warhol's atmospheric Polaroids. This copy remarkably INSCRIBED to title page by both Warhol and Robbins to Eleanor Freed—an art critic for The Houston Post and local patron—likely at the exhibition's Houston premiere, at which Warhol was present.
