Oblong (5.25 x 8 inches). Color reproductions of six of Heinecken's SX-70 Polaroid images of couples; the text on lined paper mimicing index cards. Spiral bound. LIMITED FIRST EDITION, INSCRIBED TO THE PHOTOGRAPHER RALPH GIBSON on the title, and with Gibson's ex-libris stamp on inner front wrapper. Laid-in is a mimeo note from H…einecken dated April 1980: "Enclosed as a gift for you is a small book I recently completed. As you proudly show the book to your friends, colleagues and parents you could mention that they can find their own copy in their mailbox by sending me $10.00 / If this package did not protect the book, please let me know. / The numbered [crossed out] edition for sale is 500 and approximately another 100 like yours are floating around." A wonderful association copy, as Gibson is noted for his own exceptional series of photobooks, having created over 40 of his own. Heinecken was a leading conceptual photographer of his generation, calling himself at times a "paraphotographer" because so many of his works were made without a camera and through appropriation. A near-fine copy with a few creases to front wrapper.

About Robert Heinecken: Robert Heinecken is one of the most innovative and influential artists of the second half of the 20th century. He was a pioneer of postmodern photographic practices, and his work anticipated the Pictures Generation artists of the 1970s and 1980s who practiced the appropriation of images from advertising and the media. A self-described "para-photographer," Heinecken was always challenging the conventions of the then-accepted "canon" of photography. He transformed the possibilities of the medium, and had a profound impact on many photography-based artists who studied with him. Influenced by Dada and Surrealism, especially Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray and John Heartfield, Heinecken worked with numerous photographic techniques and materials, oftentimes combining them with various printmaking processes. In addition to offset lithography and etching, he made use of film transparencies, photographic emulsion on canvas, gelatin silver prints mounted to wood (e.g., "Multiple Solution Puzzle" Series), Polaroid materials, mixed media collage and photograms (e.g., ARE YOU REA and Recto/Verso Series). His source materials included popular "lifestyle" magazines, advertising, images taken directly from television screens, pornography and news photographs. Through his ground-breaking works, Heinecken transformed American notions of consumerism, war, eroticism and mass media. From Robert Heinecken (in the mid-1960s): "We constantly tend to misuse or misunderstand the term reality in reference to photographs. The photograph itself is the only thing that is real, that exists. (There is a vast difference between taking a picture and making a photograph.)." An excerpt from a text written by Carl Chiarenza (in 1976): "He uses existing photographs. and their reproductions because they have littered the world and our minds with unlimited examples of every conceivable image of truth, beauty, banality, eroticism, brutality, pornography, consumerism, political idea, personality, idol, and ideal. Indeed one is hard put to name anything that has not been replaced by a photographically derived image. His recycling of these images makes this astounding point before making any other. Heinecken knows the photograph is not real. He also knows that most of us still believe it is. The camera eye is lusty and insatiable, a perfect match for Heinecken's eye." Robert Heinecken was born in 1931 in Denver, Colorado and in 1942 his family relocated to Riverside, California. After serving in the US Marine Corps, he earned a BA in 1959 from the University of California, Los Angeles, where he continued his studies, specializing in printmaking and graduating with an MFA in 1960. He founded the graduate program for photography at UCLA in 1964, where he taught until 1991. Heinecken died at age 74 in 2006 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Signed by Author. Signed by Author(s).
