First Edition
0. American English. Catalogue. London 2003. Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König, Köln. Text von Richard Prince. 136 S. mit 124 farb. Abb., brosch. - Sehr guter Zustand. Richard Prince sammelt seit Jahren Erstausgaben, die in unterschiedlichen Verlagen zeitgleich in den USA und Großbritannien erschienen. Darunter findet sich sowohl etablierte als auch Schund- und Popliteratur. Diese wurden vom Künstler in Kulisse gesetzt und fotografiert. Im Buch stellt er jeweils auf einer Doppelseite die amerikanische der englischen Ausgabe gegenüber. Die Gestaltung und somit das Erscheinungsbild ist häufig so verschieden, daß man nur an den Titeln erkennt, daß es sich um das gleiche Werk handelt. So werden sie nicht nur zu einem bibliophilen Ereignis, sondern auch zu einem subjektiven Stück Kulturgeschichte. In seinem einleitenden Text erzählt der Künstler von dem über viele Jahre verfolgten Projekt. ***** For years now Richard Prince has been collecting first editions including well-established, trash and pop literature. These were set in scene and photographed by artists. The present layout confronts the American edition on one page of the spread with the English edition on the other, creating not only a bibliophilic event, but a subjective piece of cultural history: the cover designs are often so different that only the title allows you to recognize that these are based on the same work. In the introduction, the artist tells the story of his years of engagement with this project.
