Edward Ruscha EVERY BUILDING ON THE SUNSET STRIP First Edition (1966) + SLIPCASE

Description: First edition, very scarce. Limited printing of 5000. (Dated 1966). A good fold-out book in original shiny silver slipcase. The outer case has some wear to the edges (lightly tearing at the seams where the book opens - about 1 inch at the top and bottom; case is still tight). The book itself is unmarked inside and very good - with a crease to the spine from handling/storage. Else very good. Rare and out of print. Book consists of one continuous accordion-fold page; unsigned and unnumbered. Originally self-published by the artist. Every Building on the Sunset Strip by Ed Ruscha (1966). Octavo foldout artist book with original metallic hardback slipcase. One continuous accordion-fold page composed of glued paper segments with black-and-white photographs of every building on the sunset strip. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Note: The First edition consists of 5000 copies printed in 1966. Of these, the first 1000 copies contain an extra 2 inch flap in the back, reflecting the final page or partial page. This copy does not contain the extra flap, but was printed in 1966 (marking it as a First edition, second printing copy). In the 1960s, Ed Ruscha more or less reinvented the artist’s book. By turning away from the craftsmanship and luxury status that typified the livre d’artiste in favor of the artistic idea or concept, expressed simply through photographs and text, Ruscha opened the genre to the possibilities of mass-production and distribution. The 27-foot length of the accordion-folded Every Building on the Sunset Strip affords the viewer two continuous photographic views of the mile and a half section of this landmark stretch of Sunset, one for each side of one of the city’s landmark thoroughfare" (The Getty Research Institute). Roth 101; Parr & Badger, Photobook II Shipped carefully with USPS Media Mail.
