Andy Warhol

A Gold Book: two unfolded plates

A striking example of Andy Warhol's fascination with gilded surfaces and mass production, this work features two unfolded plates from *A Gold Book*, rendered with the artist's characteristic blend of commercial aesthetics and fine art sensibility. Annotated in pencil with "PM20.0230" on the bird side, this piece exists outside the bound edition of 100 signed copies, lending it a rare and distinctive status. Presented in a frame, the unbound plates invite viewers to consider the tension between exclusivity and reproducibility that defined much of Warhol's legendary practice.

Medium
annotated `PM20.0230' in pencil on the bird side, aside from the bound book edition of 100 signed copies, framed.
