The bottom of page 25 has a 9 1/2 x 3 inch advertisement for a "Andy Warhol's Plastic Inevitable THE VELVET UNDERGROUND & NICO" performance at The Balloon Farm in East Village. (see image)
Page 29 has a smaller 1 3/4 x 1 3/4 inch ad for the same performance. (see image)
Note: In 1966, Andy Warhol launched the Exploding Plastic Inevitable, a groundbreaking series of multimedia events that fused avant-garde art, experimental film, and live music. Central to these performances were The Velvet Underground and Nico, whose collaboration with Warhol not only defined the EPI but also left an indelible mark on the trajectory of modern music and art.
The Exploding Plastic Inevitable stands as a testament to the transformative power of interdisciplinary collaboration. By merging music, film, and performance art, Warhol and The Velvet Underground created an experience that not only challenged artistic boundaries but also left a lasting legacy on the cultural landscape.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
The Village Voice was an American counterculture newspaper known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. It introduced free-form, high-spirited, and passionate journalism into the public discourse - a tradition it maintained throughout its 60+ year history. It is quite common to find great political cartoons, satirical cartoons and articles, thought-provoking editorials, and ads and reviews for both concerts and theater productions - both on and off Broadway. Many iconic writers and musicians credit their appearance in The Village Voice for at least a portion of their success.
Complete with 40 pages, tabloid size, one fold along the center, nice condition.
Provenance note: This issue comes from The Village Voice's own archives, part of their in-house collection used to create their digital archive. Rare as such.
Alert: Many issues of The Village Voice contain articles and/or photos which some consider offensive, and are certainly inappropriate for children. Please purchase with discretion.
