LA/NYC: Heavy Industry Publications/Moved Pictures, 1978. 17.8 x 12.7cm, 120pp. Original wrappers. First and only edition of this Ruscha's unusual collaboration with Lawrence Weiner - 65 b/w and colour images of women in intense conversation with only a few pages containing any text (including the incorrect assertion that "By 2000 the majority of racing car drivers will be female"). One of 3,560 copies printed and distributed in garages, dime stores, comic book stores etc as were all of Rucha's point of sale books. Now scarce. This copy very fine with the original 10$ price sticker still to be found on the back cover (which we don't regard as a flaw).

NYC: Leo Castelli Gallery, 1979
12.5 x 18cm, b/w gloss card. Recto is printed Weiner's conceptiual art credo but interestingly qualified by the artist to indicate it is culture specific, namely: "In relation to probable use within a culture (i.e. western): 1. an artist may construct a work 2. a work may eb fabricated 3. a work need not be built. A reasonable assumption is that each being equal and consistent with the intent of an artist the decision as to condition rests within the needs of the receiver upon the occasion of receivership."
The exhibition was "3 works of Lawrence Weiner presented for sale &/or information at Leo Castelli NYC". A mailed copy which has some minor edge damage and on the return a postal address by hand and some colour staining from rubber stamp impressions presumably due to the mailing process.
