Lot Description
[Art] [Warhol, Andy] The Baum Bugle
Kinderhook, Illinois: The International Wizard of Oz Club, Inc., 1985. Volume 29, Number 2, Autumn 1985. Signed by Andy Warhol on front wrapper. 4to. 28 pp. Original pictorial wrappers, with a reproduction of Warhol's screenprint "The Witch" on front wrapper; several sheets of International Wizard of Oz Club ads laid in.
A rare and almost certainly unique issue of this Oz quarterly journal, boldly signed by Andy Warhol. According to Justin Schiller, when Warhol was visiting his Schiller-Wapner Gallery on 5th Avenue and 61st Street in the Autumn of 1985, Schiller took the opportunity to get him to sign this copy. Illustrated on the front wrapper with a reproduction of Warhol's screen-print "The Witch", showing a maniacally laughing Margaret Hamilton, the original Wicked Witch of the West from the beloved 1939 film.
This lot is located in Philadelphia.
