Published by New York Graphic Society, Ltd., Greenwich, CT, in 1978, this exhibition catalogue was created in conjunction with the retrospective held at the Pasadena Art Museum from May 12 to June 21, 1970. The book contains significant contributions to the understanding of Warhol's work, including “Notes after Reseeing the Movies of Andy Warhol” by filmmaker Jonas Mekas, in which he reflects on Warhol's cinematic production. The catalogue also features Mekas' filmography, which highlights Warhol's extensive body of work in film. Calvin Tomkins’ essay, “Raggedy Andy,” remains one of the most insightful writings on Warhol's influence in contemporary culture, while John Coplans provides a crucial critical analysis of the artist's impact. The catalogue is fully illustrated with reproductions of Warhol's paintings, prints, and stills from his films, offering a thorough exploration of his artistic production. It is a vital resource for collectors and scholars, providing a comprehensive view of Warhol's work in the 1970s, where art, cinema, and critical thought intersect.
