New York: Andy Warhol Books/ Grosset Dunlap, 1979. First edition of Warhol’s candid and engaging photobook. Quarto, original cloth, illustrated. Presentation copy, boldly inscribed by Andy Warhol on the half-title, who has added a large drawing of a heart and his initials below, "To Alan Love Andy Warhol" and also has added his initials "AW" below his drawing. Warhol has also signed the front panel of the dust jacket. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. A unique example. “I don’t think Studio 54 is like pagan Rome. I think it’s like junior high school.” This collection of Warhol’s photographs includes wonderful sections on President Jimmy Carter, Truman Capote, Dali, Studio 54 and numerous celebrities, artists and musicians. The impromptu artistry of Exposures and other photobooks, expressing “the freewheeling existential exuberance and energy of Warhol… [became] a primary inspiration for the Japanese photobook” (Parr Badger II:144).
