The iconic artist's book, an accordion-fold masterpiece capturing every building on both sides of Sunset Boulevard along a mile and a half stretch from Laurel to Doheny. To take the photographs, Ruscha (b.1937) loaded a continuous strip of 33 feet of Ilford FP-4 black & white 35mm film into his motor-drive Nikon F2 and then mounted it on a tripod in the bed of a pickup truck.

(Los Angeles): Edward Ruscha, 1966. First edition. Near fine in near fine slipcase.. Signed first edition, second issue of this quintessentially Los Angeles book, and one of the great photobooks of all time - with the original wrap-around band intact. Ruscha's fourth book, and arguably his finest, captures the Sunset Strip at a particular moment in time. A monumental and continuous accordion-fold scroll that opens to more than 25 feet, Ruscha documents - as the title suggests - the entirety of the Strip, with even numbered addresses running along the top the page and odd facing opposite along the bottom. "The effect is less like the fluid cinematic pan [...] than a series of jolting jump cuts [...] a ragged progression of gas stations, motels, apartment houses, parking lots, strip-malls, and honky-tonk signage" (Parr 182). A beautiful example of a notoriously fragile production. 7'' x 5.5''. Accordion-fold printed recto only and mounted in printed wrappers. Housed in original silver Mylar… Leer más
