"Index (Book) is one of the most important and exuberant Pop art objects ever published."--Parr & Badger. "My idea of a good picture is one that's in focus and of a famous person doing something unfamous. It's being in the right place at the wrong time."--Andy Warhol. Andy Warhol's Index (Book) is a compilation of interviews, art inserts, pop-ups, photographs, recording discs, and descriptions of life at the Factory. An crucial Warhol document and an absolutely iconic publication of the psychedelic era in New York. Included in Andrew Roth (ed.), The Book of 101 Books: Seminal Photographic Books of the Twentieth Century; Parr & Badger, The Photobook: A History, Vol. II and M+M. Auer: 802 Photo Books. Fine.
