Aspen was conceived by perennial editor and publisher Phyllis Johnson as a challenge to traditional magazine design offering a multimedia landscape in each issue with sections that were individuated and independent, necessitating interaction that was often sensory and unbound, featuring records, 3-d models, sewing patterns, postcards, a flip book, and even ads were segregated to defy convention. In each issue, the contents and enclosures were designated as 'sections' and labeled as such, with issue-specific numbers, which have been herein assigned with corresponding numerical bullets, and entries for each issue where section assignments are absent. Each issue's sections were housed in a section-numbered box, which varied in size and design throughout the publication's run (1965-1971). All 10 issues are thematically independent, and by design they all featured a different set of editors. Only six sections missing from the entirety of those composing issues No. 1 - 10. These include the Something Else Press newsletter from Aspen No. 4; the illustrated content-enclosing envelope from Aspen No. 6a, which is commonly missing; subscription forms from Aspen Nos. 7, 8 & 9; and the to-date unknown section, #13, from Aspen No. 10. All sections in very good condition unless otherwise noted. Issue #3 has signatures. The most prominent being the vertical signature by Warhol to upper fore edge of enclosure cover. Contents of Issue #3 including the James Rosenquist pop art post card is inscribed to Ted Joans and the Jasper Johns piece Black Map is also signed. All 10 issues have been fully cataloged, please e-mail if interested in the 10-page entry, which provides details for each issue and a complete inventory of their contents plus more detailed condition points. Box enclosures vary in condition from fair---for issues #s 7 & 10----to very good with most being in good (or better) condition. Contents are all in very good or better condition unless otherwise noted in catalog entry. Issue #6a (not photographed for lack of enclosure)---or any other contents---can be photographed upon requests.
