"Always omit the blemishes–they're not part of the good picture you want."
Handsome signed copy of this compilation of Warhol's shorter aphoristic sayings and longer pieces, which veer from the blandly superficial to the devastatingly astute and back again, notwithstanding the artist's disdain for "circles where very heavy people have very heavy brains." Much of the book was adapted from taped conversations with the artist's collaborators and ghostwriters. Which is to say: an entirely Warholian production.
