COVER TO COVER. 1975. FIRST EDITION. SIGNED BY SNOW.

paul robertson — Tue, 26 Nov 2019 22:33:57 +0000

Haiifax: Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, New York University Press, 1975 22.5 x 17.7cm, unpaginated. Card covers. First edition of this photobook printed dos-a-dos allowing the images to be looked at in both directions. The imagery is playful - sometimes a photograph (in b/w) of reality, sometimes the same image but as a photograph held in the hand and reshot. Hard to find because it is referenced in Parr and Badger, Photobook II (pg 156). Slight wear to edges of the wrappers else VG. This example is unusually signed (and dated 1994) in black ink on a page where the artist's letterhead and a typed letter can be seen - hence adding a further layer of device to the work. Unique thus.
