PERMANENT FOOD HORS SERIES EDITION “P” + TOTE BAG MULTIPLE. c. 2008.

Dijon: Les Presses Du Reel, n.d. (c. 2008)

27 x 20.5cm, unpaginated. Original pictorial wrappers. First edition of this unusual assemblage magazine edited by Maurizio Cattelan, and Paola Manfrin which compiled without comment images sent to them by colleagues and friends with the only proviso that the images had been published somewhere. Cattelan’s humour comes out in the choice of image and also their placement within the magazine. Fine condition early numbers are close to impossible to obtain. The magazine seemingly ended with Nr 14 although it may be restarted in some future time by the publishers. This number was a special hors series (and oversized) number of the magazine and may have actually been the last published (as a sort of final flurry).
