About this Item

First Editions. Duodecimos. A complete, four volume set documenting Richard Hamilton's long-term self-portraiture project (1968-2001), in which he invited fellow artists to capture his likeness via Polaroid cameras. The result is not only something of "A Portrait of the Artist as an Aging Man," but also a reflection of the distinctive styles of each of the participating artists; a veritable who's who of post-War art, including: Adami, Arakawa, Bacon, Baldessari, Beuys, Boltanski, Brecht, Broodthaers, Bury, Cage, Cartier-Bresson, Chaimowicz, Christo, Copley, Creeley, De Maria, Dibbets, Filliou, General Idea, Gilbert and George, Haacke, Hockney, Hopper, Iannone, Indiana, Jarman, Johns, Kaprow, Katz, Lichtenstein, Merz, Nevelson, Oldenburg, Ono, Paik, Pistoletto, Rauschenberg, Richter, Rosenquist, Rot, Ruscha, St. Phalle, Schneemann, Segal, Spoerri, Ulrichs, Vautier, Vostell, Warhol, Wiener, Wilke, and Yokoo. A fine clothbound set in elegantly printed jackets, which are near fine save for minor scuffing to two of the covers. Seller Inventory # 30636
