Condition: Note that the exterior slipcase (the outside box) has paper loss, scuffing, scratching, agewear, peeling etc. - definitely vintage - but it served its purpose of protecting the book itself which is in very good condition, and the interior pages are clean and crisp and bright. Not ex-library; No markings whatsoever - apart from Warhol's inimitable signature. This limited edition signed and numbered 1979 vintage monograph/portfolio - First and only Edition - is quite elusive nowadays and makes a memorable and distinctive gift.
Pencil signed and numbered from the limited edition of only 200.
- Ships in 10 to 14 business days from New York.
