First edition, second issue. Small octavo, original stiff self-wrappers, original slipcase. Inscribed by the artist on the title page, "For John Ed Ruscha." One continuous accordion-fold page composed of glued paper segments with black-and-white photographs of every building on the sunset strip. FineÂin a fine slipcase. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. An exceptional example. In the 1960s, Ed Ruscha more or less reinvented the artistâs book. By turning away from the craftsmanship and luxury status that typified the livre dâartiste in favor of the artistic idea or concept, expressed simply through photographs and text, Ruscha opened the genre to the possibilities of mass-production and distribution. The 27-foot length of the accordion-folded Every Building on the Sunset Strip affords the viewer two continuous photographic views of the mile and a half section of this landmark stretch of Sunset, one for each side of one of the cityâs landmark thoroughfare" (The Getty Research Institute).

Original publisher's printed wrappers, title in silver to front cover and spine, original reflective silver slipcase. The first edition first issue, signed by Ruscha on the title, of this famous and important leporello artist book. From the edition limited to 1000 copies, complete with the small folded flap at the end of the book (at 9176 and 9171 Sunset Boulevard); this copy signed on the title page by Ruscha. 'The Sunset Strip satisfied one of Ruscha's early ambitions: 'In Oklahoma City, I delivered newspapers riding along on my bicycle with my dog . I dreamed about making a model of all the houses on that route, a tiny but detailed model that I could study like an architect standing over a table and plotting a city". As a result of his subsequent fascination with the Sunset Strip, this unrealized youthful ides resurfaced in a different form. The accordion-fold structure of the book was an appropriate format for Ruscha's intended depiction of the famous Hollywood thoroughfare as a series of two-dimensional storefront facades, like those of a Western town'.
