Item Details

Description

Title: Rare 1972 1st and Only Edition: "COLORED PEOPLE" by ED RUSCHA

Date/Period: 1972

Materials: Rare Book

Dimension: 7"x5.5"

Provenance:Limited 1st Edition, "COLORED PEOPLE" - Los Angeles, by Ed Ruscha, 1972. . 64 pp.This listing is for a rare yellow softcover. First Edition Printing (of 4,065 run). Square 12mo, 7" x 5.5"; illustrated throughout. In this first and only edition, Ruscha indirectly addresses the discourse around the term “colored people” by paradoxically depicting no literal persons anywhere. Instead, the first half of the book consists of fifteen offset color photos of cacti, succulents, palms, banana trees, and other desert vegetation, stripped of context and suspended against immaculate white. Completely blank, the glue-bound book’s remainder is further devoid of even these estranged specimens. Much can be read into this prickly publication in terms of (in)visibility, metaphor, alienation, representation, absence, and so on.
