Andy Warhol invitation to book launch of "In the Bottom of My Garden"

1950s

About the Item

This is an incredibly delicate and historic invitation, printed on thin rice paper, to an opening at Manhattan's famed Serendipity 3 (22 East 60th Street) to view Andy Warhol's new picture book "In the Bottom of My Garden." Another example of this undated vintage invitation is in the Warhol Museum itself in Pittsburgh. (see photos of that installation). Although most galleries date the picture book to circa 1956, the Warhol Museum dates this Serendipity 3 invitation to the book launch back to 1954 - when Warhol began hanging out at Serendipity's. An amazingly scarce, original piece of Warhol ephemera; a valuable collectors' item. Nobody you know will have this! Acquired as part of an auction with unpublished original Warhol negatives. This work has been elegantly framed in a museum quality gold rimmed frame under UV plexiglass. Measurements: Framed 17.25 inches (vertical) by 12 inches (horizontal) by 1.25 inches Artwork: 9.25 inches (vertical) by 3.75 inches (horizontal)
