Love You Live.

25 b&w photos from the ?biting' session. Original vinyl tablecloth in the original paper carrier bag. 122 x 86 cm., 40.5 x 28.5 cm. with string handles, 25 photomontage images of Rolling Stones group members offset from monochrome silkscreen [?] printed in black on white on recto for the tablecloth and black on manila Kraft paper. N.p. [New York], n.p. [Andy Warhol?], n.d. before September 27, 1977. £12,000.00 Bag very crisp, tablecloth a bit grubby as found but with all images intact, in the same state as when acquired and taken home from the launch party most probably. Very rare and desirable, one of only 12 copies, presumably the bag in which it came exists in a dozen copies only as well. The tablecloth lacks the blank peel off paper backing and the much smaller paper poster. The artwork on these launch party freebies is unique though of course expands on Warhol's cover for the album depicting Mick Jagger biting a hand from the ?biting' photo sessions, of which some Polaroids by Warhol have turned up in Christies. Provenance: Julio Mario Santo Domingo, pre-eminent Rolling Stones superfan collector who of course had a paper poster/tablecloth as well and of course signed copies of ?Love You Live' , possibly acetates et al. A great Warhol artwork for the launch of the greatest rock and roll band in the world for one of their greatest albums (and a double at that). The Stones loved novelty live and promo merch producing chattering teeth and frisbees as well this tablecloth and bag. The great Pop Artist had worked with them before designing the provocative zipper artwork for ?Sticky Fingers' and the playful artwork for the EP with ?Brown Sugar' on it from the same LP. 233447.…
