VG bright tight copy in publishers decorated flexible boards. 1st edition, 1st issue. Powerful images by seminal photographers, realist painters and sculptors -- including Tierney Gearon, Nan Goldin, Andreas Gursky, Cindy Sherman and Andy Warhol -- which sparked a high-profile row about the boundaries of taste when exhibited at London's Saatchi Gallery. This catalogue of Charles SaatchiÕs photographic collection was conceived, not as a conventionally harmonious single design, but as a collection of independent elements Š spine, title page, artwork captions, etc Š that were each individually designed to maximise their purpose. In keeping with this heightened functional aesthetic, the image plates and captions started on the front cover and ran consecutively over the end papers and on through to the back cover.
