Description

A signed first edition, first printing of these black and white photographs of selected records and album covers from Ruscha's collection, photographed by his friend and fellow artist Jerry McMillan.

  • Ed Ruscha (American).
  • Photographs by Jerry McMillan (American).
  • (Hollywood, CA): (Heavy Industry Publications), 1971.
  • 60 black and white plates.
  • Edition of 2000 copies. 
  • Signed by Ruscha on front free endpaper. 
  • Original red embossed paper wrappers.


Like Ruscha's previous books, Records is concerned with words and texts, though the presentation of words "on" images here is distinct from Ruscha's previous documentation of words "in" images (Phillpot): shown against a blank white background, the printed texts on these album covers and records exist on circles and squares, objects alone without a landscape.

Provenance

From the collection of longtime MIT Press editor Roger Conover, who published several books by and about Ruscha.
