About This Item
New York: Harry N. Abrams, 1980. First edition. Hardcover. g+. Quarto. 96pp., incl. two foldouts. Original light green cloth with red lettering on cover and spine, in original color illustrated dustjacket. "Edward Ruscha is one of the pioneers of the artist book movement, early recognizing the possibilities of the book as an artistic medium. GUACAMOLE AIRLINES AND OTHER DRAWINGS is the most luxurious Ruscha book yet published - it is Ruscha's own selection of 84 of his favorite drawings, with 33 pages in full color. Using such imaginative media as gunpowder, spinach, and carrots, Ruscha's drawings are small, intimate forays into the dehumanized modern world." (Publisher). No text except for an introductory poem by art critic Peter Schjedahl. DJ and binding with very light wear. Brief pencil inscription on front free endpaper erased with light remnants. Minor pencil markings (initials) in lower margins on 20 pages and four titles encircled in pencil on list of illustrations at rear. Images are not affected. Dealer sticker in lower right corner of back free endpaper. DJ, binding and interior in overall good+ condition.
