Description: Artist ANDY WARHOL "Is God Dead ?" Greenwich Village NYC Death 1987 Newspaper Offered is an original, collectible newspaper (NOT a copy/reproduction): THE VILLAGE VOICE, Greenwich Village, New York, May 5, 1987 * re. Andy Warhol death The front page is one of the more famous in the history of the Village Voice: "IS GOD DEAD ? relating to the death of pop culture icon Andy Warhol. After Warhol exhibited his work in several galleries in the late 1950s, he began to receive recognition as an influential and controversial artist. His New York studio, The Factory, became a well-known gathering place that brought together distinguished intellectuals, drag queens, playwrights, Bohemian street people, Hollywood celebrities, and wealthy patrons. He promoted a collection of personalities known as Warhol superstars, and is credited with inspiring the widely used expression "15 minutes of fame". In addition to the front page, this issue features a 12 page insert with pictures and articles about Warhol by Gary Indiana, Gerard Malanga, and the great Barbara Kruger. I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time. It is worth noting that "The Village Voice" was an American news and culture paper, known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. Founded in 1955, the Voice began as a platform for the creative community of New York City. Complete in 148 pages, tabloid-size, folded in half, very nice condition. Note: Many issues of The Village Voice contain articles and/or photos which some consider offensive and are certainly inappropriate for children. If purchasing, please do so with discretion.

Historical reports may be beautiful or ugly, but they are always informative. While we rejoice in the beautiful (heroic, discovery, amazing feats, etc.), we at Historys Newsstand also offer "the ugly" for we are determined to learn from the wrongs of the past - understanding, to do so, we must be willing to look these wrongs directly in the face and shout "NO MORE!". It is for this reason many Black Americans collect historic slave ads, Jews collect reports regarding the Holocaust, women collect coverage of the Womens Suffrage Movement, etc.. If you find any to be offensive, we agree! Hopefully this is an indication we are moving in the right direction. Domestic Shipping Policy... For this specific item, A U.S. winner pays $10.00 S&H.
