Well, he sure got what he wanted. I have seen one copy of the original STICKY FINGERS album and it’s one of Warhol’s best achievements (I read somewhere that Stefan Sagmeister thinks the same).
If I’m not mistaken, a facsimile of that letter was published some years ago in a sort of Warhol Box, which contained many other facsimiles of relevant documents in W’s life.
Great to get a snapshot of some of the real communication that transpired behind the scenes… interesting also how there was a different version for Russia & Spain http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_Fingers
-…an operational zipper, which ruined the back of the cover of the album in front of it in the shelf. My copy of ‘Goat’s Head Soup’ never really recovered.
Beautiful – what’s he like, Mick – “plse write to me and tell me how much money you want!” What a guy, I think I’d die and go to heaven if a client said that to me. Oh and ps. Do whatever you want.

This is it: Andy Warhol Pop Box: Fame, the Factory, and the Father of American Pop Art
Not expensive and quite interesting as a gift (although the design of the box isn’t great)

Even after Mr. Jagger’s caution, he put an operational metal zipper on the album cover. Silly Andy!

is there a list or photos of what was in the two boxes??
Oct 19th, 2009 / 1:15 pm
Hmm, so the Warhol artwork for Sticky Fingers was originally intended for a hits collection? I guess that makes sense.
Oct 20th, 2009 / 3:04 pm
THIS IS SO PERFECT. And yes, it would be interesting to see what was in the boxes..
