ASPEN MAGAZINE. Aspen Magazine. 6 parts, comprising vol. 1, nos. 1-4 (4 boxes), 5-6 (one box), 6a and 9 (folders). New York, 1966-1970.
A remarkably-preserved collection of one of the earlest "3 dimensional magazines," published by Phyllis Johnson, featuring contributions from a who's who of twentieth century (post-)modernism: Andy Warhol, John Cage, Hans Richter, Samuel Beckett, Marshall McLuhan, Timothy Leary, J. G. Ballard, Roland Barthes, and Susan Sontag. Lacking numbers 7 and 8. All of the issues present have been collated as complete and in fine condition, with only the first number showing some wear to the box edges and number 6a showing wear to its illustrated envelope. Numbers 2 and the double number (5+6) are accompanied by their original shipping packages; providing further context to this production. The infamous number 3, designed by Andy Warhol, is preserved in particularly fine condition.
