33.5 x 24.5cm, 28pp (self cover). Exhibition catalogue for the large scale installation by Kruger over the entire floor of the Nationalgalerie with texts in German and English taken from George Orwell's 1984. The work initially looked impressive but was very hard to read due to the text all being on the floor due to the open plan of the museum's space. Texts in German and English and images of works in red and black throughout. VG+.

(the artist), 1978
24.5 x 22.5cm, 48pp plus original blue typographic wrappers. Kruger's first book - a text (a short story) is counterpointed by full-page b/w shots of the outside of wooden houses which are bereft any signs of humanity. The book is much more conceptual in content (a la early Wegman) than the artist's later agit-prop conceits. This book has had substantial water damage in the past and many of the pages have previously been stuck together and the prising apart has caused some minor damage with minor surface abrasions throughout. Nonetheless this is an extremely rare artist's book and all pages can be read. Even Kruger's catalogue raisonne does not mention this book although the title exhibition of the photographs is noted as her first public show. Some wear to the extremities of the outer wrappers. Limitation not known but probably not many.

Priced thus due to the damage (the only other copy online available at time of writing is over 1,250 uk pounds).
