Book Description: A Chicago Book, Chicago, 1980. Spiral Bound Wrappers. Book Condition: Good -. First Edition. Oblong 8vo. np (72pp), 8 color illustrations. In a protective clear acetate dustwrapper. "He: / She:" is the late, great Robert Heinecken's charming spiral bound artist's book comprised of his Polaroid SX-70 reproductions of images of young, attractive couples accompanied by constructed flirtatious narratives. It is interesting to note that this was produced while Heinecken was teaching in Chicago in the early eighties, as it bears strong parallels to the charged gender-politics fueling the contemporary work of influential Windy City playwright David Mamet. An internally most handsome copy (cited on page 37 of "From Fair to Fine 2" and page 24 of "From Fair to Fine 3") SIGNED by Robert Heinecken in black ink on the title page whose front cover unfortunately shows a fair amount of surface paper loss in addition to having been detached from the binding and subsequently repaired. It has been priced accordingly. PLEASE NOTE: Additional shipping costs are required for this item beyond our standard rates due to its value - we will inform you of the applicable amount at time of purchase.

Book Description: A Chicago Book, Chicago, 1980. Soft cover. Book Condition: Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. VERY FINE, SIGNED by the Artist. VERY SCARCE FIRST EDITION. With ORIGINAL POLAROID PRINTS on spiral-bound ruled index cards. FIRST PRINTING. A Chicago Book, Chicago, Illinois, 1980. Robert Heinecken's work has been considered controversial from the time he began creating it, largely due to the inclusion of pornographic imagery. Like Richard Prince, he also used advertising images to make a point about our consumer culture and the presentation of art. "He:/She": presents an imagined dialogue between a man and a woman, written out on index cards below printed versions of SX-70 Polaroid prints. (The original edition featured original SX-70s.) From The New York Times, "Photography View; Robert Heinecken - Asking Provocative Questions," (June 7, 1981) by Andy Grundberg: "In the 'He/She' pieces the sexual content is mostly implied by the text, since only a few of the Polaroid prints are sexually explicit. 'He' and 'She' characters talk somewhat disjointedly about such matters as kissing and going to bed, but the main thrust of the dialogues is to explore what Heinecken has called 'relational possibilities.' The pictures, which often have little to do in any obvious way with the dialogue they frame, seem simply to offer a visual set of relational possibilities that interact with those of the text." "He:/She": is a spiral-bound, softcover book, containing numerous color reproductions on facsimile index card pages. The title page verso reads: "These writings began in 1974 and since that date have been exhibited as collage elements in art galleries and portfolios." Top Choice Books offers a SIGNED copy of "He:/She": in VERY FINE condition; this is an extremely rare item and will not last long in our stock. This is a softcover with spiral binding. It is unpaginated with numerous color reproductions and measures 5.25 x 8 inches. "He:/She": is in VERY FINE condition, SIGNED, in stock, and available for immediate shipping. Bookseller Inventory #.
