ANDY WARHOL
Holy Cats By Andy Warhol's Mother.
Holy Cats was created and drawn by Warhol's mother, Julia Warhola (1891-1972) in memory of her cat, Hester. Warhola sketched the line drawings and created the cursive captions in her own hand comically illustrating the great variety of feline personalities. The captioned drawings are each printed on colored paper totaling twenty pages plus original full cover drawing on off white paper wrapping. Internal pages are fine. The rear cover shows a light center stain.The illustrated paper cover along the spine is broken at the center and upper and lower left edges, with slight cracking along inside covers. The book was privately printed one time in 1954 in a small edition and measures 9 x 6 inches.
After a successful career as a commercial illustrator, Warhol became famous as a painter, avant-garde filmmaker, record producer, author, and public figure.
