Andy Warhol Rare 1968 First Edition Moderna Museet Exhibition Catalogue

Description: Andy Warhol The Stockholm Catalogue Warhol, Andy; Kasper Konig, Pontus Hulten, Olle Granath, Editors First Edition, profusely illustrated with full-page black and white photographs. Softcover 8.5 x 10.5 inches Original illustrated paper wrappers Published by Moderna Muséet, Sweden, in 1968 as Exhibition Catalogue for Andy Warhol, Moderna Muséet in Stockholm, February - March, 1968. Warhol's famous Stockholm Catalogue published on the occasion of Warhol's first European solo show at Moderna Museet, Stockholm, February - March, 1968. The concept for the catalogue was developed by Kasper König, who commissioned Factory stalwart Billy Name, and a teenage Stephen Store, to photograph how Warhol and his coconspirators lived and worked. But it was König's use of the xerox machine to reproduce Warhol's own work that gives this catalogue its signature feel. By some estimates over 200,000 copies were printed in three editions. Warhol’s Moderna Muséet catalog “is a fine example of the catalogue-as-artist's-book, a form that ostensibly began with the Dadaists and Surrealists, and is produced with some of the roughest reproductions ever seen, which are entirely appropriate, and supplemented by a long section of Factory snapshots by Billy Name. The genre was revitalized by the Pop movement, and Warhol in particular, which demonstrates his position as a latter-day Dadaist. The Moderna Museet publication especially had a great influence upon Japanese photography in the late 1960s and 1970s, particularly the photobooks of the Provoke era”.
