"IN THE FUTURE EVERYBODY WILL BE WORLD FAMOUS FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES"

WARHOL, ANDY.

Andy Warhol.

(Stockholm: Moderna Museet, 1968).

4to. Bound with the original pictorial wrappers - printed in pink, yellow, orange, and green, after Warhol's "Flowers" - in an excellent contemporary Swedish modernist half leather binding with purple mottled cloth boards and a black morocco spine with "ANDY WARHOL" lettered in silver. Wrappers with very light wear to corners and a tiny stain to the bottom of the front wrapper. In overall excellent condition. First 8 leaves with text, the remaining more than 300 leaves full of black-and-white full-page illustrations.

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.
