cm 21x14,7, paperback, pp. [88]. Jack Pierson first photobook takes its title from a hotel room where the artist stayed in Las Vegas.

“I always understood the value of a book. Sheets of paper loose are a mess. Sheets of paper even stapled together become a book or a magazine, something to keep. The New York City bookstore Printed Matter was a great source of inspiration for me and I think I saw a Lawrence Weiner book there that seemed to look like a photo novella with stills from a movie he had made. This was perhaps floating in my head when Aurel Scheibler generously offered to make a publication to go with my first exhibition at his Cologne gallery in 1991. The format was modeled on 1950s physique magazines that I was a fan of. Richard Pandiscio, the famous art director, donated the cover design for Angel Youth from his desk at Interview magazine. He was never credited because I wanted an “anonymous” feeling to the whole thing. I hereby acknowledge his participation now. Thanks for your patience, Richard.[...]” (Jack Pierson, NYC January 2008)

Salvo was stopped at the Austro-German customs with 8 grams of ma*****na and repatriated. / Il poster pubblicizza anche l’azione di Salvo Mangione «Salvo Mangione segnet München 3 Mal», che non ebbe luogo.

Andy Warhol / Andy Warhol, 1968

Stockholm, Moderna Museet, [printing: Sydsvenska Dagbladets, Malmö], 27 × 21 cm., paperback, pp. [640].

Catalogue / artist’s book published on the occasion of the exhibition at Moderna Museet, Stockholm (February–March 1968), entirely illustrated with black-and-white reproductions of Warhol’s works (photographs by Rudolph Burckhardt, Eric Pollitzer and John D. Schiff), stills from his films, and photographs of artists and friends taken at Warhol’s Factory (photographs by Billy Name). Text consisting of 14 pages of Warhol quotes in English translated into Swedish. Color-illustrated cover reproducing Warhol’s Flowers. First edition. Some creases to the spine; some pages detached.

“Kasper König developed a radical grid that placed Warhol’s work in dialogue with conceptual artists such as On Kawara. Four groups of images brought together his artworks, his social and professional milieu, and outraged reviews from provincial American newspapers. Kasper König assembled the book on Leo Castelli’s Xerox machine, repeatedly photocopying images until the catalogue began to mirror Warhol’s own serial methods. Uncaptioned sequences by Billy Name and Stephen Shore transformed the Factory into two distinct visual narratives, reinforcing the book’s status as an autonomous multiple. Printed like a newspaper in 200,000 copies and sold for one dollar, it circulated far beyond museums before becoming a cult object and collector’s item.”
