News, Mews, Pews, Brews, Stews & Dues. Six Organic Screenprints by Edward Ruscha (Prospectus).
London: Editions Alecto, 1970. First Edition. Slim quarto (8 pp.). Prospectus for a suite of six "organic" screenprints from Ed Ruscha produced with a series of everyday ingredients depicted on the front cover and itemized in the opening table. E.g. for Stews—photographed as a 2 pp. process centerfold—Ruscha employed tulips, daffodils, tomato paste, cherry pie filling, strawberries, baked beans, and caviar. Introduced by text from Christopher Fox, including a number of interview snippets: "Right now, I am out to explore the medium. It's a playground or a beach, so I'm going to send up as much sand up in the air as I can! I think the next time I'll print with iodine." Bump to lower edge of illustrated wrappers; close to near fine. Uncommon, with 5 OCLC records located in North America.
