(WARHOL, ANDY). Rosenblum, Robert. Foreword by Rupert Burgess. Afterword by Frank Moore, M.D.. New York: Gagosian Gallery, 1999. First Edition. Small Square 8vo. Illustrated Wrappers. Artist Monograph. Near Fine.. np (56pp), 13 color and 1 b&w illustration. Designed by Anthony McCall Associates. With an exhibition checklist. This is the compact, elegantly designed catalogue produced in conjunction with a 1999 Gagosian Gallery New York exhibition that reunited for the first time the complete series of thirteen "Philip's Skull" paintings by Andy Warhol. One of the artist's most unusual portrait commissions, the imagery of these 1985 synthetic polymer paint and silkscreen ink on canvas works is derived from a cranial X-Ray of Warhol's friend and patron Philip S. Niarchos. A most handsome example of what very well might be Gagosian's hardest to acquire publication. 1-880154-29-3 Inventory Number: 023755
