Hard cover. Condition: As New. Jeff Brouws has crisscrossed the country for two decades, documenting an America that is at once quintessential and peculiar. Readymades is a quirky, multi-layered catalog of this ascendant photographer's work: partially painted pickup trucks, bowling alley signs, vibrant-hued houses that defy the monotony of the suburbs, abandoned drive-in movie theaters. Brouws treats his subjects as readymade art found in the landscape, brought together to create an idiosyncratic roadside panorama. Provocative essays by leading writers and cultural commentators such as Luc Sante, DJ Waldie, M. Mark, Diana Gaston, Bruce Caron, and Phil Patton are juxtaposed with these images of all that is unique in the uniform, and striking in the mundane.

The editors, Brouws and Burton, collected vernacular railroad photographs for many years, poring through disorganized boxes of snapshots at train shows and swap meets. This collection includes railroad landscapes, locomotives, bridges, and people primarily during the age of steam. Includes an essay by Brouws discussing the aesthetic evolution of railroad photography in the early to mid-twentieth century and the phenomenon of the International Engine Picture Club, which acted as a clearing house and swapping mechanism for rail fans.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket. Third Printing. Over two decades, artist Ed Ruscha created numerous, small, artist's books, topically focused on examples of the mundane. His first artist's book Twentysix Gas Stations, was exactly that: photographs of twenty-six gas stations on Route 66 between Los Angeles and Oklahoma. Ruscha stated that he was not enamored with photography and that using the medium wasn't a goal itself. "The title came about before I even thought about the pictures. I like the word 'gasoline' and I like the specific quantity of twenty-six." His process and project were finding twenty-six examples that fit the idea. As Phil Taylor writes in this book, "Ruscha's books adopt the guise of non-creative art-making." This concept resonated with other artists and this book collects 91 small artist's books that "revisit, imitate, honor, and parody Ruscha in form, content, and title. Some rephotograph his subjects: Thirtyfour Parking Lots, Forty Years Later. Some offer a humorous variation: Various Unbaked Cookies (which concludes, as did Ruscha's Various Small Fires, with a glass of milk), Twentynine Palms (twenty-nine photographs of palm-readers' signs). Some say something different: None of the Buildings on Sunset Strip. Some reach for a connection with Ruscha himself: 17 Parked Cars in Various Parking Lots Along Pacific Coast Highway Between My House and Ed Ruscha's." This collection of small artist's books continues beyond Marcel Duchamp and Ed Ruscha in describing found objects and the built environment as art. Depicted in 298 color and 55 monochrome photographs, these books range from obvious, to puzzling, to hilarious, and all stimulate the conversation around 'What is art?' Includes an index of all known (as of 2013) Ruscha 'tribute' books and brief biographies of the artist creators. All text by Phil Taylor with an essay by Mark Rawlinson. Digitally typeset in Garamond, Rockwell, Trade Gothic. Paginated 287,[1]. Bound in red cloth over boards, with bold, high-contrast titling than mimics not only Ed Ruscha books, but most books that pay homage to and mimic those same Ed Ruscha books. No dust jacket as-issued. This is a clean, sharp copy in Fine condition.; Color Photographs; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 288 pages.
