A scarce signed first edition of Taylor Mead on Amphetamine and in Europe, published in 1968. This cult underground classic by Taylor Mead-actor, poet, and central figure in Andy Warhol's Factory scene-is a vivid artifact of the late-1960s New York avant-garde.

The book is inscribed and signed by Mead on the front endpaper. Best known for his appearances in numerous Andy Warhol films and for his role in the downtown poetry and performance world, Mead was a defining personality of the era's experimental art culture.

This volume, subtitled Excerpts from the Anonymous Diary of a New York Youth, Volume Three, captures the rebellious spirit of the underground press movement. The cover photograph is by noted artist and photographer John Chamberlain, further tying the book to the broader circle of Warhol-era creatives.

A compelling collectible for admirers of Pop Art, Beat and counterculture literature, and the history of New York's downtown art scene.
