FEATURED STORY

Recreating the playful chaos of Andy Warhol's Index (Book)

In 1967, at the height of the Pop Art explosion, Andy Warhol decided the humble book deserved the full Factory treatment. The result was Andy Warhol's Index (Book), a gloriously unruly object that blurred the line between publishing, sculpture, and performance. Random House printed 20,000 copies and they sold out almost immediately.

Nearly six decades later, the book feels less like a relic than a dispatch from an alternate universe - one where publishers gleefully stuffed balloons, pop-ups, foldouts, and even a playable record into hardcovers without consulting a risk-assessment committee. 
Long before the word interactive became a tech-world word, Warhol perfected the analog version.

Now, in collaboration with the Andy Warhol Foundation and Melcher Media, we are bringing this legendary curiosity back to life with a painstakingly accurate facsimile edition.
