From the publisher: #5. Mark Ruwedel: Studio E.R. [Ed Ruscha]: "Our first artist's book with Mark Ruwedel catalogues seven buildings used at various times as art studios by Ed Ruscha. Based in Los Angeles, where these images were made, Mark Ruwedel has been photographing the North American landscape for over 30 years. A prolific photographer who visits the same places and subjects again and again over extended periods of time, Ruwedel says of his approach: "I have come to think of the land as being an enormous historical archive; as a whole, the work explores the relationships of the social, technological and cultural with the natural world." Mark Ruwedel's work is widely exhibited in the United States and abroad. It is held within the permanent collections of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Tate Modern, London; and National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, among many others. He is a Guggenheim Fellow (2014) and a recipient of the Scotiabank Photography Award." #6. Jo Ann Callis: Cheap Thrills: "In her delicious contribution to our One Picture Book Two series, Jo Ann Callis presents 13 highly-charged photographs of suggestively anthropomorphic desserts from her series 'Cheap Thrills: Forbidden Pleasures'. Created in the early 1990s, this body of work was among several that Callis created at the time exploring gender and sexuality. Since emerging in the late 1970s as one of the first important practi.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 1 pages. Published in 2000. Rare Ed Ruscha collectible piece. A pristine copy of the Compact Disc (CD) celebrating his landmark London exhibition, signed by Ed Ruscha. Limited Edition of 500 copies. Precedes and should not be… confused with the regular edition of the disc. There is no ISBN. The Limited Edition is now rare. A brilliant production by Ed Ruscha and Jonathan Stephenson: Cover photograph of the artist posing against giant posters of "Ed Ruscha In Pisa, Italy", that is, of naked women. Black-and-red CD encased within the jewel case. The CD design brilliantly mimics vintage vinyl records, and as such, alludes to Ed Ruscha's great Artist Book, "Records" (1971). Booklet Insert of art by Ed Ruscha. Original music by David Stephenson and Richard Bell. In jewel case with back cover, as issued. Without DJ, as issued. Released on the occasion of the exhibition, "Mountains And Portraits", held at the Anthony d'Offay Gallery London in May-June 2000. Presents "I Want To Hang Out With Ed Ruscha". An ingenious, one-of-a-kind tribute. No other artist of our time has been comparably and fittingly honored. The whole production honors Ruscha's graphic design-inspired art. His passion for graphics has exerted a decisive influence on Ruscha's art. His greatest work is firmly rooted in his infallible genius for design, typography, and layout, that is to say, the right look and feel of the formal elements that result in what we call a work of art, and it is why he is such an influential Master of the Artist Book genre. "I want to take a plane and fly to LA / I want to hang out with Ed Ruscha / He makes pictures and words interplay / He puts cool into LA / That's Ed Ruscha" (David Stephenson and Richard Bell). "Good art should elicit a response of 'Huh? Wow! ' as opposed to 'Wow! Huh? ' " (Ed Ruscha). An absolute "must-have" collectible, not just memorabilia, item for Ed Ruscha collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition of 500 copies. It is very boldly and beautifully signed in black pen-marker on the back of the jewel case by Ed Ruscha. It is signed directly on the jewel case itself, a characteristic Ed Ruscha touch. As such, the case is irreplaceable, rendered more valuable than its contents. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few copies of the Limited Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have very serious flaws ("Very Good") or are the regular edition. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. One of the greatest artists of the 20th century and our time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER ED RUSCHA TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). Signed by Author.
