WARHOL, Andy. Bomb Hanoi. Something Magazine vol. 2, no. 1.Winter 1966.
8vo. Wrappers perforated in a grid pattern and housed in a bespoke yellow leather backed solander box with black morocco gilt lettering piece; unpaginated; creasing along the upper edge; otherwise very good.
First edition.
Titled "A Vietnam Assemblage," this issue of the privately published Some/Thing magazine was released at the beginning of the Vietnam War and includes poetic contributions from poets such as Allen Ginsberg and Charles Bukowski, thus aligning itself with an emerging 1960s counterculture.
The cover of “A Vietnam Assemblage” was designed by Andy Warhol himself and features perforated yellow stickers, each emblazoned with the phrase "BOMB HANOI”. It is one of Warhol’s very rare political works. These stickers were designed to be removed from the cover and then widely circulated, an act of satirical protest.
