Cultural Prosthetics (Signed)
Rome: Gian Enzo Sperone, 1997. First Edition. Octavo. The first catalogue of Tom Sachs' works, published on the occasion of his exhibition at Gian Enzo Sperone, Rome (March–April, 1997); under the same title as his first solo exhibition (1995) at Morris Healy Gallery, which co-produced this book. This copy SIGNED by Sachs in black marker over white-out brushstrokes to front endpaper. Thoroughly illustrated with color images of Sachs' works; accompanied by an essay from Jeff Crane (printed in both English and Italian), which opens with a quote from Adorno's Minima Moralia: "Artists do not sublimate... Rather, artists display violent instincts, free-floating and yet colliding with reality, marked by neurosis." A near fine copy with illustrated boards featuring die-cut elements. Uncommon, with only two OCLC records located in North America.
