Item description from seller

1st Printing. Signed. 16 pages. Published in 2010. Artist Book. The 62nd title in the now-legendary "One Picture Book" Series by Nazraeli Press, one of the most superb ongoing projects of contemporary art photography. Limited Edition of 500 numbered and signed copies. Accompanied by one tipped-in, original print by the artist/photographer (hence the Series' name). An elegant production by Chris Pichler: Small-size volume format. Titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Eiji Ina. Printed on pristine-white, archival stock paper to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Eiji Ina's "Wacht". A dazzling One Picture Book, one of the very best in the entire Series. "In the 72 reproductions that make up 'Wacht', Japanese artist Eiji Ina documents in detail the omnipresence of security cameras around the world. This is a book of anomalies, as the cameras that simultaneously protect and monitor us vary from humorous and ominous, subtle to clunky, hi-tech to classical" (Publisher's blurb). "Wacht" is the German word for "awake" (reverse the letters, it becomes "watch" in English), and Eiji Ina's photographic inventory of "always-wide-awake" and "always-watching-you" surveillance cameras is an instant classic. An absolute "must-have" title for Eiji Ina collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition, indicated/numbered as such in pencil on the Back Limitation Page. It comes with an original color print that is very prominently and beautifully signed (in Japanese characters) in black pen on verso by Eiji Ina. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Limited Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: The remaining copies from the publisher command $150. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. 2 miniature color plates, 1 original print. One of the most brilliant photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER ONE PICTURE BOOK TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 1590052854.…

Store description

Modern Rare is exclusively an online bookstore. Email is usually the best way to reach us: modernrarenow@gmail.com We will respond to your email query within 24 hours. We are exclusively an online bookstore because we believe this is the best way to satisfy our customers' expectations. Unlike an open bookstore, where books are routinely handled and may deteriorate, we guarantee the condition of our books as described. We specialize in modern firsts, photography, the arts, and a little bit of erotica. You will also find a fine selection of signed copies, Limited Editions, and collectible items because our ultimate goal is to deepen the pleasure of collecting books. We carry titles that we ourselves like and believe in - books that we think will excite, enchant, and endure. Please note: Payment needs to be made directly through ABEBooks. If you wish to make any other payment arrangement, please get in touch with us before placing your order. For example, Paypal can only be processed through a direct sale because ABEBooks does NOT accept Paypal payments, NO exceptions. Thank you and happy collecting!…
