Seller: Jeff Hirsch Books, ABAA, Wadsworth, IL, U.S.A.
First edition. Softcover. One of 2500 copies. Exhibition catalog /artist book for a show that ran May 10 through June 30, 1985 concurrently at Albright-Knox Art Gallery and CEPA Gallery. Includes numerous black and white illustrations. From the publisher: "Crocodile Tears features a selection of photographs, taken from Huebler's Variable Piece no. 70 (in which the artist aimed to "photographically document the existence of everyone alive"), and found knock-offs of works by Van Gogh, Matisse, and Degas, to illustrate a disjointed screenplay involving a number of fictitious characters dealing in high-end art forgery. The cast includes Richard Decker, a "signature artist" cranking out salable objects to pay the mortgage; Arthur Lord, known as "the great corrector" for his ability to flawlessly replicate the works of the old masters without their original "mistakes"; and Alec Gregory, a con-artist who sells knock-offs of famous paintings to unsuspecting collectors. Huebler's parable is a witty and dark reflection on art-market politics and a compelling exploration of the problematics of authorship and authenticity." A very near fine copy in stapled wrappers.
