About the Item

Published by DelMonico Books and Prestel Publishing, 1st edition, 2009. Hardback English text. This beautiful catalogue is published in conjunction with the exhibition Larry Johnson held by the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. Following in the tradition of conducting surveys of mid-career artists at the Hammer, this elegant survey of Johnson’s works was born. Johnson’s name has flown low on the radar, despite his widespread power of inspiration among his contemporaries. A true “artist's artist”, Johnson lived the down-and-out life in LA and the themes of his works mirrored it closely. Celebrity craze, class division, camp and lust, drug and death are the constituting pillars of Johnson’s works. This monograph charts the development of Johnson’s signature cartoonish illustration style. Absorbing early influence from Douglas Huebler, finding comradeship with Richard Prince, and inserting himself among the leagues of Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, this monograph gives Johnson his due in his artistic achievement and his pervading influence on a generation of artists. Dimensions: 30 x 25 x 1.5 cm Condition: Near Fine. Without a dust jacket as issued.

Paul Strand: Photograph 1915-1945 - Nancy Newhall - 1st edition, 1945
Located in CA, CA
Published by the Museum of Modern Art, 1st edition, New York, 1945. Hardback, English text. This exhibition catalogue is the first critical monograph issued by MoMA on a photographer. It was published in conjunction with a planned series of one-man focal retrospectives to bring some of the prominent American and European photographers to the fore, and photography has since then entered the category of fine art as far as MoMA is concerned. A catalyst and legend among his peers and the photography world at large, Strand’s revelatory photography captures a subtle change of mood, a slipt-second thought; his ‘nature morta’ of a kitchen bowl...
