the most famous and increasingly scarce issue of this pop art collectible. Aspen was "the first three-dimensional magazine," according to its publishers. It began with issues devoted to their ski spa name, but then broke theme for this third issue which has become the well-known Pop Art issue designed by Andy Warhol and David Dalton. Subsequent issues were devoted to conceptual art, minimalist art, and postmodern critical theory, new voices in British arts and culture, the Fluxus group, art and literature of the psychedelic drug movement, and Asian art and philosophy. Contributors included William S. Burroughs, John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Marcel Duchamp, Sol LeWitt, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Robert Rauschenberg, LaMont Young, and many others.
