Beschreibung
Signed limited edition, with two signed and numbered prints, of this "third revised edition" (fourth overall) of one of the most famous artist's books of the last fifty years. A more than 50-year-long undertaking begun in 1966, Phillips' altered book project remains one of the most popular and important artists' book of the last century. Inspired in part by William Burroughs' cut-up methods, Phillips utilized a used book from his local bookshop (the otherwise unremarkable 1892 Victorian potboiler THE HUMAN DOCUMENT by William H. Mallock) in order to create a new work by elaborately coloring, painting over, crossing out, obfuscating, effacing, or otherwise altering Mallock's existing text. In doing so, Phillips allowed a new narrative to emerge, whose "relationship of overlay and latency, of invention and contrast [.] gives the transformed book its tension" (Drucker 110). Originally published in a limited edition in 1970, a first trade edition followed in 1980. Since then, Phillips has continued to revise and add to the book over the decades and he issued more than six editions (each revised) during his lifetime. This, the "third revised edition" (i.e. fourth overall) includes 40 new pages and like most of the revised editions was also issued in a deluxe limited edition, as here. The book remains a beloved classic arguably the most popular and enduring book of its kind and these deluxe editions remain scarce on the marketplace. A beautiful copy of a major artist's book. Original full yellow cloth. In original unclipped (no price) color pictorial jacket. [8], 368, [8] pages. Limited edition, one of 175 copies signed by Phillips, this #69. Additionally loosely laid in are two prints from the book, each also numbered 69 from an edition of 175 and both signed by Phillips as issued. Touch of trace sunning to spine. Else bright, sharp, and clean overall. Fine in a near fine or better jacket. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 49959
