KELLEY, MIKE RECONSTRUCTED HISTORY: EDITED AND WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY MIKE KELLEY - ONE OF TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY COPIES SIGNED BY THE ARTISTNew York & Cologne, GERMANY, Thea Westreich & Gisela Capitain., 1990, First Edition 1/250. Illustrated Boards in Jacket, 4to, np (138pp), 61 b&w illustrations + cover. Designed by Mike Kelley and Patti Podesta. "Reconstructed History" is Mike Kelley's rollicking, scatologically inflected view of America's past that would have our founding fathers spinning while copulating and excreting in their graves. Taking the form of the fictional grade-school textbook "Living in Our America: A Record of Our Country - History for Young Citizens", it features sixty-one black and white reproductions of historically based artwork and photographs that have been subsequently altered in the manner of naughty child to blend pithy commentary with phalluses, breasts, and all manner of bodily secretions galore. After seeing "Reconstructed History", you'll never view the Empire State Building in quite the same way again. A most handsome copy of this deluxe artist's book that was limited to two hundred and fifty copies only SIGNED AND NUMBERED by Mike Kelley in black ink on the colophon, as issued.
