Author: Ruscha, Edward
Title: Twentysix Gasoline Stations
Description: 1962. First Edition. Softcover. Glossy printed plain white wraps with original glassine jacket. 5.55" x 7.05" An extraordinary copy of the first of Ruscha's iconic publications, in pristine condition. The glassine jacket is all original and virtually unscathed, with the exception being a Lilliputian hole along the spine edge between the top and middle lines of text. The jacket exhibits some minor age-toning and offsetting from where this book set within a pile of two other Ruscha books for some period of time as if in a display. From what can be pieced together, this book was part of a group which was likely sent to a New York Art Book store as part of a marketing campaign to sell the books, which originally did not sell well for Ruscha. This is a first edition. TWENTYSIX GASOLINE STATIONS is dated 1962 on the title-page, and is an unnumbered copy of 400 copies printed in April 1963 by The Cunningham Press. An extraordinary copy. Fine .
