THIRTYFOUR PARKING LOTS. 1974. SECOND EDITION.

paul robertson — Tue, 06 Sep 2022 14:54:02 +0000

Los Angeles: S.p. (Ruscha), 1974.
25 x 20cm, 48pp comprising 31 full page photos of parking lots in LA taken from a helicopter by the artist plus original wrappers. Second edition of this artist's book which was published in a huge edition of just over 2,000 copies and sold like much of Ruscha's books in gas stations, record shops, stores etc etc and over time became more influential and less easy to find (cheap things are more likely to be thrown away). This is a VG+ example of the book apart from some minor sunning near the spine and the blank back.
