Ruscha, Edward. SOME LOS ANGELES APARTMENTS. (Anderson, Ritchie & Simon), Los Angeles, 1970.
Price: US$2500.00 + shipping
Condition: Fine
Description: Signed second edition of Ruscha's third artist's book, one of 3,000 copies produced following the original printing of 700 in 1965. Captured in a flat style reminiscent of real-estate listings, Ruscha's black and white photographs of high rises, dingbats, and walk-ups often include the building's signage and lettering, furthering Ruscha's preoccupation with text, typography and language. Like much of Ruscha's work in this period, SOME LOS ANGELES APARTMENTS investigates the particulars of the California landscape while addressing larger issues of place, location, and identity. A beautiful copy. 7'' x 5.5''. Original white wrappers printed in lime green. Lacking original glassine jacket. Black and white plates. Edition of 3000 copies. Signed by Ruscha in pencil on front free endpaper. PROVENANCE: From the collection of longtime MIT Press editor Roger Conover, who published several books by and about Ruscha. Minimal edgewear.
