Description

Elusive signed copy of Warhol's erotic masterpiece, Blue Movie

Highly rare signed book: Blue Movie. First edition, first printing. NY: Grove Press, 1970. Softcover with blue clamshell box custom made by the Dragonfly Bindery Studio, 4.75 x 8, 128 pages. Signed on the title page in black felt tip by Andy Warhol. The book contains the film’s complete script as well as numerous photo stills from the film. In fine condition.

A rare and attractive unread copy of Warhol’s controversial screenplay for Blue Movie, the first adult erotic film depicting explicit sex to receive a wide theatrical release in the United States. According to Warhol, Blue Movie was a major influence in the making of Last Tango in Paris. Signed copies of this book are virtually unobtainable, with research showing that this is the first example to be offered for sale or at auction in over a decade.
