Andy Warhol
Index Book - Hard Cover
Mint - This unread copy came straight from Warhol's estate through the Andy Warhol Foundation. It comes with a letter of purchase from the foundation.
The included original outer plastic bag is in fine condition except for a small tear to the top back - see photo
The authentic original 1967 ad for this book (not a copy) is also included - see photo
The book has never been fully opened - I slightly opened the book to peak in and make sure that everything was indeed there.
Even the original transparent paper that was added to protect some of the elements is still in there. The Hologram sparkles like new making a more apparent 3-D effect than we usually see on other copies.
While the book is unused new old stock - time alone has caused the balloon to disintegrate and stick to the pages as usual
