Andy Warhol's Exposures. Warhol, Andy Art And Architecture

First edition of Warhol’s candid and engaging photobook. Quarto, original cloth, illustrated. Presentation copy, boldly inscribed by Andy Warhol on the half-title, who has added a drawing of a heart and his initials below, "To Alice Love Andy Warhol." Warhol has also signed the dust jacket. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. A unique example. “I don’t think Studio 54 is like pagan Rome. I think it’s like junior high school.” This collection of Warhol’s photographs includes wonderful sections on President Jimmy Carter, Truman Capote, Dali, Studio 54 and numerous celebrities, artists and musicians. The impromptu artistry of Exposures and other photobooks, expressing “the freewheeling existential exuberance and energy of Warhol… [became] a primary inspiration for the Japanese photobook” (Parr & Badger II:144).
