| BUREN, DANIEL The Eye of the Storm: Works in Situ By Daniel Buren Guggenheim Museum. 2005, First Edition. Wraps in Sleeve. Fun catalogue for an exhibition held March 25-June 8, 2005, produced on newsprint in sections to resemble the New York Times in appearance, documenting not only the various installations Buren put into the Guggenheim for this exhibition, but also practically his entire history as an artist (in a "Classified" section), which is extensive. All enclosed in a plastic folder with a bright green label. The catalogue is in Fine condition; the case itself is near-Fine, with the label a bit wrinkled and lifted at one corner. Fine/Near-Fine. USD 45.00 [Appr.: EURO 30.25 | £UK 27.25 | JP¥ 3972] Book number: 1873 Click here to order or inquire at Ruggles Books. | ||
| CURRIN, JOHN (WITH WILLIAM STOVER) John Currin Selects Museum of Fine Arts. 2003, First Edition. Stiff Wraps As Issued. ). 86-page catalogue for an exhibition held May 14, 2003-January 4, 2004, with many color plates. Currin apparently got this curating gig because he's a figurative painter with Romantic European Tendencies painting in a decidedly nonfigurative age, at least as the MFA sees him. He certainly had fun picking through the attic there to identify his own "guilty pleasures", and some of the fun is documented in the heavily edited "conversations" he had with Stover in his studio while he was involved in the project. The final plate, Hopper's Drug Store, is haunting. Fine in stiff wraps as issued. Fine/Issued Without Jacket. USD 20.00 [Appr.: EURO 13.5 | £UK 12.25 | JP¥ 1765] Book number: 1687 Click here to order or inquire at Ruggles Books. | ||

Stiff Folded Card Wraps. 96-page documentation of what has been an ongoing project for Arakawa since 1970, consisting of canvas panels painted with acrylic or mixed media, word art, visual art and philosophy colliding. 28 pages in color, although color isn't necessarily the point here. Fine in stiff folded wraps as issued in this edition. Fine/Issued Without Jacket.

| JAFFE, LEE Cordially Yours Lee Jaffe Edition Cantz. 1992, First Edition. Boards. Published to accompany a major exhibition of Jaffe's work at Stockholm's Moderna Museet ("Lee Jaffe", February 1-March 29, 1992), this provides more than an exhibition checklist, but gives us a context for this artist's installation work. Accomplished blues harmonica player, Rastafarian, and child of the Sixties, Jaffe has been developing a body of work around the concept of the Other, working in a variety of media. This copy in near-Fine boards, with light wear to spine ends and corners. Near-Fine/Issued Without Jacket.

Boards. 62-page catalogue for overlapping exhibitions held at both the Kawamura Memorial Museum of Art and the Chiba City Museum of Art between June and August 1996.

Accompanied by schematics showing how the painted panels or Mylar drawings should be laid out. Text in Japanese and English. Fine bound text block in Fine silver boards as issued. Fine/Issued Without Jacket. USD 45.00 [Appr.: EURO 30.25 | £UK 27.25 | JP¥ 3972] Book number: 3320 Click here to order or inquire at Ruggles Books. | ||
| MASHECK, JOSEPH [ESSAY] Robert Smithson: Drawings New York Cultural Center. 1974, First Edition. Soft Cover. 96 page exhibition catalogue, perfect bound in wraps. This posthumous exhibition does justice to Smithson's work in a way, but the drawings are not the constructions themselves, which need to be seen in their environmental context to be fully appreciated. Still, the curators have done a remarkable job with the drawings. Very Good with minor rubbing and wear to edges and corners. Very Good/Issued Without Jacket. USD 50.00 [Appr.: EURO 33.5 | £UK 30.25 | JP¥ 4413] Book number: 2092 Click here to order or inquire at Ruggles Books. | ||
