Softcover. Zustand: Very Good. "In the latter half of the twentieth century, Los Angeles took off as an international art capital. Catalog L.A. presents a comprehensive timeline of the burgeoning art scene that reflected the city's m lange of pop culture, celebrity, and political influences. Hundreds of images covering all the major exhibitions of the era along with excerpts from film, television, literature, and current events provide a historical perspective on the metropolis's cultural and artistic innovations. A compendium of modern art, ephemera, critical texts, and revealing interviews, this archive chronicles the city's thirty-year metamorphosis into an art giant. Based upon a major retrospective at the Centre Pompidou in 2006, Catalog L.A. illuminates a radical period that forever altered the landscape of contemporary art. / Catherine Grenier is an independent curator working for the French Ministry of Culture and various museums. The former Head of Contemporary collections at the Mus?e National d'Art Moderne, Paris, she curated the show 'Los Angeles 1955-1985' at the Centre Pompidou in Paris in 2006 383 pages.

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 239 pages. Published in 2009. The artist's oral autobiography. One of the best art and photography books of our time. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. The title alludes to one of Christian Boltanski's masterpieces, "La Vie Impossible" ("The Impossible Life"). The book is beautifully produced, with a Preface by the culture critic Luc Sante (which appears in the American Edition only), a brilliant DJ design by Mark Polizzotti, vintage photographs appended at the center of the book, and a title page that is in continuous, "back-to-back" pages (instead of the usual single page or doublespread). Presents "The Possible Life of Christian Boltanski" in a felicitous English translation. His personal story, told entirely in the form of a series of Interviews conducted by Catherine Grenier. The beauty of Grenier's interview format is that it gives us Christian Boltanski's voice in all its acute particularity. His voice leaps off the page, resulting in a narrative that once began is impossible to put down: Intelligent, candid, and for admirers of his solemn installations and Artist Books, surprisingly and refreshingly humorous. "Christian Boltanski's votive installations, archives, and objects, revolving around the fragile polarities of memory and amnesia, identity and anonymity, have made him one of the world's most renowned contemporary artists. And yet, despite the centrality of biography and testimony to his work, Boltanski's own story is little-known and has never been fully told. He recounts his unusual wartime childhood, his career, friendships, marriage, successes, regrets, his approaches to art and teaching, and other matters that illuminate as never before his complex, enigmatic works" (Publisher's blurb). Now that he is (really) dead, the grief one feels for the vanished Life is somehow mitigated by the timeless beauty of the Art. An absolute "must-have" title for Christian Boltanski collectors. This Autographed Copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the half-title page by Christian Boltanski. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary art and photography classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. It is the single most beautiful copy we have ever seen. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. One of the greatest artists of the 20th century and our time. A fine copy.
