Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: No Jacket As Issued. In Speck, Peter Buchanan-Smith, Art Director of the New York Times Op-Ed page, asks artists, designers, lawyers, writers, collectors, and photographers to explore our obsessions with the small objects that loom large in our everyday lives.To wit: Maira K…alman empties people's pocketbooks; Nicholas Blechman and Jesse Gordon trace the history of the oldest piece of dust; David Horrowitz catalogs manhole covers; and Peter Buchanan-Smith unearths a 1966 high school yearbook and transcribes the inscriptions ('To a real sweet and cute guy with a great personality. Remember English III').Speck also shows how 'ordinary' people can fascinate as much as 'ordinary' objects: an interview with shoe shiner Harry Kitt, Manhattan's last practitioner of the dry-shine, photographs taken by a blind man on a sight-seeing tour, and a barber's extensive collection of earth, water, and air from around the world ask us to re-think our assumptions about the commonplace. Bump on bottom of spine with small rip, back cover. Pages clean and bright.
