Tall Octavo. (28cm. x 21 cm.) unpaginated. ills. Photo-illustrated gatefold wrappers. Heavy stock photo illustrated paper. Fine. "Special Guest" showcases two artists fascinated with the image as commercialism: Richard Prince and Roe Ethridge. In 2014, their very popular work was exhibited together at the Gagosian Gallery. Prince is most well known for his iconic "Cowboys" series which introduced his own technique of "rephotographing". Often using personal images, Ethridge's photography asks what is real and what is untrue -- a technique he has termed, "synthetic photography". In "Special Guest", the high color images walk that fine line between commercial and personal photography. This copy from an edition of 1,000. Seller Inventory # 195
