Description: Limited Edition. No. 61 of 170 hand-numbered copies. Perhaps the greatest visual achievement of John Martin's Black Sparrow Press, featuring 15 color serigraphs from Ken Price-of Los Angeles scenes in smoggy hues-to accompany a series of poems from Charles Bukowski (e.g. Traffic Report, Junk, Piss, Cockroach, Traffic Ticket, Flophouse, Bright Red Car, Decline).As called-for, four of the serigraphs are SIGNED by Price, with all of them blind-stamped by artist's and publisher's marks; housed in a die-cut tray built-into the rear board. With a CD housed in sleeve affixed to front pastedown, featuring an audio recording of Bukowski reciting his poems. A fine copy in cream cloth boards, with publisher's plexiglass slipcase; all elements housed within the scarce foam-lined mailing box, with titles printed directly to front panel. Box lightly worn with a few small stains, but well-preserved. A beautiful copy of an evocation of mid-90s L.A. by two of its foremost artists.
