Thanks Sal ... It was great to see the pictures.

I'm pleased the turnout was so good. I'm over in December, maybe someone could organise an event for then.

How much do the catalogues (deluxe & limited) cost? Can anyone who has it tell me if it's any good? My mom goes to NY next week so she might as well get me one. Do they sell other items besides the catalogue?

Rock & Roll!

The catalog is beautiful (and no, I do not get a cut.). The regular edition of 1000 is $45. I'm not sure about the deluxe editions. I'll find out and post soon. There are several other items for sale. Many from Moe's collection and deluxe archival museum quality prints of some of the photos icluding Doug's.
You can contact the gallery for prices.

There is already talk of the show traveling to London and Sydney next year.

While reading the catalogue I noticed a set list including a song called "I guess things just happen" from Poor Richard's. Does anyone know what this song is?

They also have the actual banana Andy Warhol used as a model for the banana sticker.

how do people who don't live in New York get a hold of the catalogue?

The real Deluxe version is $2,500. 26 copies. It comes with a CD of the 1966 acetate* etc. The super deluxe is $7500 is comes with original LP etc. 5 copies.

(*Ha ha - usual question is whose copy of the acetate they used?)

The $150 one you refer to above is the numbered edition of the standard copy.

The gallery is a bookshop. Contact them.
