Illustrated Wrappers. Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. 208pp, 106 color illustrations. Leave it to an iconoclastic artist like Jim Shaw to quietly amass this extraordinary collection of paintings one would be unlikely to find hanging in any museum. He dispenses with the pretension of academic texts and just shows us the work. With titles such as "Man with No Crotch Sits Down with Girl" and "Indian Maidens Frolic in Bikinis", these pictures require no reductive essays or curatorial largesse - they speak for themselves and the artists who created them. A handsome example of the 1990 first paperbound printing of this fascinating tome issued by Ed Ruscha's Heavy Industry Publications additionally BOLDLY SIGNED " Jim Shaw" in blue ink on the front free endpaper. PLEASE NOTE: Signed by the Author.

(6)pp., 112 plates. Sm. 4to. Wraps. Printed d.j. New fitted cloth clamshell case. First issue, with dust jacket printed on waxed freezer paper (meant to resemble the paper on a cracker box). "In. Crackers, a series of photographs describe [an] absurd incident in which a male performer (Larry Bell) makes a salad on a hotel bed, and invites a woman to undress and recline on it. The protagonist then retires to his own hotel room to eat a box of crackers" (Lyons). "The book is caught between an excess and an economy of means which seems incidental. The beauty of the book is in its stable page after page of single full-sized images--the photos always fill the frame and are printed on an appropriately slippery coated stock" (Drucker).
