About this Item
Description:
Limited to 700 unnumbered copies printed by Anderson, Ritchie & Simon. Octavo: [48] p. with 34 photographic images. Original white paper wrappers, with printed lime green wrappers. The ink stamp of Wittenborn and Company appears on the title page. Faint hint of tobacco. Very slight rippling to the bottom edge of the front panel, with a bit of mild toning along the extremities; else very good or better in the original glassine dust wrapper. "One of Ed Ruscha's groundbreaking mass-produced artist's books, Some Los Angeles Apartments documents the banality and standardization of the urban landscape of his adopted home of Los Angeles. In deadpan style, Ruscha presents an extended sequence of black and white photographs of the city's ubiquitous mid-century dingbat and low-rise apartment block. For Ruscha, the array of variations within a formulaic architectural type reflected the unique culture of postwar Los Angeles, while revealing the dreariness of the modern American lifestyle. Ruscha captions each of the book's 34 photolithographs with the building's street address, which collectively serve as a roadmap of sorts for the city's sprawling residential neighborhoods. There is no additional text" (Minneapolis Institute of Art). Seller Inventory # 76152

Softcover. Condition: Fine. First Edition. Glossy printed plain white wraps with original glassine jacket. 5.55" x 7.05" An extraordinary copy of the third of Ruscha's iconic publications, in pristine condition. The glassine jacket is all original and unscathed, The jacket exhibits some minor age-toning and offsetting from where this book set within a pile of two other Ruscha books for some period of time as if in a display. There is a tiny fold to the inside glassine jacket at the rear of SOME LOS ANGELES APARTMENTS. The superior condition of this book cannot be overstated. From what can be pieced together, this book was part of a group of Rusca's first three books which was likely sent to a New York Art Book store as part of a marketing campaign to sell the books, which originally did not sell well for Ruscha. This book is a true first edition, first printing. SOME LOS ANGELES APARTMENTS is dated 1965 at the base of the title-page and is copyright 1965, and printed by Anderson Ritchie & Simon, Los Angeles. 700 copies printed. An extraordinary copy.
