An unnumbered copy, signed by Andy Warhol on the first blank pre-leaf. – There are 100 usually numbered and dedicated copies in different bindings. – Without the colophon. – »Influenced by gold lacquer work that Warhol saw in Bangkok and his fascination with wealth and the symbolism of gold, Warhol used gold paper for this book. It is illustrated with blotted-line drawings of friends, flowersm shoes and other subjects including a portraot of Jeames Dean. […] These designs are represantative of Warhol’s pre-Pop style; many of them are delicate, almost lyrical depictions.« (from an excerpt of an older, unfortunately un-identified catalog)
