Ed Ruscha / Books 1st Edition 1971

Description: Books Author: Ed Ruscha Title: Books Publication: Hollywood, CA: Heavy Industry Publications, 1971. Description: Single sheet. The very uncommon prospectus, issued by Heavy Industry Publications of Hollywood, circa 1971. Itemized on a large coated single sheet (22 1/2" wide x 18" tall) are all 12 of Ed Ruscha's now-iconic artist's books (up to this publication). Starting with "TwentySix Gasoline Stations" (1962) and running up through "A Few Palm Trees" and "Records", both from 1971. The large sheet has been folded into 1/8ths and has held up very well. Clean, bright and VG+, with neat, fairly unobstrusive creasing at the folds. The first 8 of Ruscha's artist's books, chronologically, have accompanying photos and they are: 1) TwentySix Gasoline Stations (1962); 2) Various Small Fires (1964); 3) Some Los Angeles Apartments (1965); 4) Every Building on the Sunset Strip (1966); 5) ThirtyFour Parking Lots (1967); 6) Royal Road Test (1967); 7) Business Cards (1968); and 8) Nine Swimming Pools (1968). And then, hand-stamped onto this prospectus: 9) Crackers (1969); 10) Real Estate Opportunities (1970). And finally, hand-written in ink onto this copy: 11) A Few Palmtrees (1971) and 12) Records (also 1971). Scarce, of-the-period (early '70s) Ed Ruscha ephemera. Very Good +.
