Richard Prince
American English  2003
Softcover, 134 pages
22 x 14.5
Sadie Coles HQ, London / Walther König, Köln

Condition: Fine, some minor damage to cover

Published in conjunction with a 2003 Sadie Coles HQ exhibition in London, this bibliomaniacal Richard Prince artist's book pits full-page photographic images of English first editions of treasured tomes from his library across the truck from their American counterparts - creating a frisson not unlike that of "Kittenwar"... It includes the artist's essay "Collecting: Bringing It All Back Home - A Day in the Life of a Book Collector Suggests that the Impulses Behind Collecting are Part Obsession, Part Quest and Part Fantasy". A brand new, pristine example of the first and only edition (artist's book entry 33 in "Bibliotheque d'un Amateur: Richard Prince's Publications 1981-2012") limited to one thousand, four hundred unnumbered copies.
