VARIOUS SMALL FIRES AND MILK. 1970. SECOND EDITION.

Los Angeles: s.p. (Ruscha), 1970

18 x 14cm, unpaginated (24pp) plus typographic wrappers with glassine dust jacket. Second edition of this keenly sought artist’s book which was originally sold for just a few dollars in various West Coast outlets (such as record shops). The photographs by Ruscha display a variety of ‘small fires’, including a gas range, a pipe, a cigarette, a blow torch and a highway flare with the final photograph being (presumably) a cooling glass of milk. Near fine condition. Scarce.
