Printed in gravure on pristine-white, thick uncoated stock paper in Tokyo, Japan to the highest standards. The reproduction quality is outstanding in every respect. In pictorial DJ with white titles on the spine, as issued. Presents Ross Bleckner's "Page Three: Photographs". The first and only collection of photographs by the artist/painter. It is a pictorial autobiography-of-sorts and an ambitious (if also ambiguous) commentary on larger contemporary issues at the same time. It is surely more than interesting that all, not just some, of the greatest late-modern American artists (Cy Twombly, Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, and Jasper Johns, to name only four of them) are homosexual. Except for Warhol, none of them has explored the subject of sexuality in their work in any significant way, and they all stubbornly refuse to self-identify as "gay", a personal decision that has been bitterly criticized by some, but must surely be respected by everyone else who values a human being's, not just an artist's, now-beleaguered right to privacy. Bleckner is openly and proudly gay, and insists, not just suggests, that it is the central element of his art. His collection consists of original as well as appropriated images juxtaposed to dramatize, not just visualize, the extreme contrasts of the world that we live in today: Privacy versus public-ity, wealth versus poverty, peace versus war, health versus illness, pleasure versus pain, love versus hate, Life versus Death. There are many explicit photographs of his lover's penis, photographed in extreme closeups and in an unusual, imaginative, and erotic way. "Travels over the intimate contours of a lover's body and the pages of his daily newspaper [hence the title]. Collaged, blurred, inverted, enlarged, and cropped, the artist juxtaposes paragraphs of newspaper type with pictures that suggest his intent, but stop short of revealing a true purpose. At times, even when we are sure of what is before us, succeeding and opposing images intimate that all is not as it appears to be" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Ross Bleckner collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Slipcased Edition of 150 numbered and signed copies, indicated/numbered as such on the Back Limitation Page. It is very boldly and beautifully signed in metallic-silver pen-marker on the title page by Ross Bleckner. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of very few copies of the Limited Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Should NOT be confused with the regular trade edition of 3000 copies. Copies available online have serious flaws ("touch of edgewear", "Near Fine", "Very Good"). This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. 95 sheetfed gravure plates. One of the most brilliant artists of our time. A fine collectible copy. ISBN 0944092594. Signed by Author.

From the publisher: "Covering 30 years of groundbreaking work, spanning from 1976 to 2006, The Paintings of Ross Bleckner is the first major monograph on this important American artist, as well as the first publication devoted to his work since his 1995 retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Beginning with an analysis of Bleckner's much-overlooked Constructivist and Post-Constructivist paintings of the 1970s, it continues with chapter-by-chapter studies of all the critically-acclaimed series, from the Stripe, Weather, Chandelier and Memorial (or AIDS) paintings of the early to mid-1980s to the Specific and Anonymous, Inheritance, Protein and Meditation paintings of the new millennium. In addition to an intensive analysis of each of the artist's completed works, the book contains 250 black-and-white illustrations, 134 color plates of Bleckner's most seminal works, a comprehensive history of his exhibitions and a complete bibliography. In his monumental text study, author Richard Milazzo writes, 'Bleckner's work has always been interested in bringing abstract painting closer to the realities of the external world, while endeavoring to plumb the depths of the subliminal realm of the psyche. Much lauded for the work he has done for ACRIA, the American Community Research Initiative on AIDS, and as an outspoken advocate of the fight against the disease since the late 1980s, his paintings are symbolic expressions of a larger humanity, and, as such, also comprise formal as well as social values.'"
