Picture/Readings (Signed).
Self-published, 1978. First Edition. Oblong octavo. SIGNED by Kruger to the front end-paper. First artist's book from Barbara Kruger, having yet to pivot to her trademark paste-up aesthetic. Here, Kruger pairs 22 short narratives with enigmatic black-and-white photographs of architectural exteriors, in the style of Walker Evans; rather than condense her images into the direct appeal of photomontage, Kruger dreams-up a series of possible interiorities. Some scuffing to blue printed wrappers, with minor curling; close to near fine. A sharp copy of a bookwork that's prone to wear; quite uncommon signed.
