First edition, first printing, of the famous Warhol Stockholm-catalogue, which, a part from its obvious artistic value, played a main part in the "Brillo Box-scandal". It is also in this catalogue that the seminal photographs of the Factory, by Stephen Shore and Billy Name, appear for the first time, along with at least one of his most famous quotations (perhaps THE most famous and most frequently quoted): "In the future everybody will be world famous for fifteen minutes".

The exhibition in Stockholm was Warhol's first international retrospective exhibition and as such one of his most important ever.
