Details
Description
A signed first edition of Ruscha's photobook Every Building On The Sunset Strip.
Signed first edition, second issue of this quintessentially Los Angeles book, and one of the great photobooks of all time – with the original wrap-around band intact.
"Not only the most physically ambitious of Ruscha's books, but the most flamboyant." — Parr & Badger
Ruscha's fourth book captures the Sunset Strip at a particular moment in time. A monumental and continuous accordion-fold scroll that opens to more than 25 feet, Ruscha documents — as the title suggests — the entirety of the Strip, with even numbered addresses running along the top the page and odd facing opposite along the bottom. "The effect is less like the fluid cinematic pan […] than a series of jolting jump cuts […] a ragged progression of gas stations, motels, apartment houses, parking lots, strip-malls, and honky-tonk signage" (Parr 182).
Provenance
From the collection of longtime MIT Press editor Roger Conover, who published several books by and about Ruscha.
