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 practitioners of the 'fabricated photographs' movement, Callis has used photography to render the sensual tones and textures of fabric and food, or to animate clay figures of her own making. Jo Ann Callis was born in Cincinnati, Ohio and relocated to Los Angeles in 1961. She enrolled at UCLA in 1970 where she began taking classes with Robert Heinecken, among other prominent artists. She started teaching at CalArts in 1976 and remains a faculty member of the School of Art's Program in Photography and Media. She has continued to photograph, draw, and paint, and her work has been widely exhibited in such venues as the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Hammer Museum; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and many others. In 2009 a retrospective of her work, Woman Twirling, was presented by the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles. Callis has received three NEA Fellowships and a Guggenheim Fellowship, among other awards and prizes." #7. Mike Mulno: Residential Variations: "The 13 photographs presented in Residential Variations are selected from a larger body of work of the same title, which depicts a series of homes within a Southern California neighborhood. Through time or a succession of personal aesthetic decisions each house has been reformed from, but still resembles the simple post-war modern home that once defined the neighborhood. Interest and beauty is found within these modest domestic structures and their revisions. Michael Mulno's photographs are included in several public and private collections including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; and Museum of Photographic Arts, San Diego." #8. Jan Banning: The Sweating Subject: ""The Sweating Subject is a series of group portraits of tribal chiefs and their court, which includes myself, photographer Jan Banning. All are members of the Gonda or Dagomba tribe in the Northern.

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).

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.

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.
