Alec Soth - Foam Party Poster - 2013

Giant tiled poster by Alec Soth, issued by his imprint Little Brown Mushroom. Comprises 64 loose duotone offset printed sheets, each approximately 24 x 34 cm, which assemble into a wall-sized mural measuring about 193 x 270 cm. In an edition of 500 copies, long sold out and very scarce.

The image is Soth’s now classic foam party photograph from Watertown, New York, an outtake from the LBM Dispatch projects. Originally shot for the Dispatch, it was temporarily held back because The New York Times Magazine wanted first publication, then reemerged as this mural-scale poster, described by Soth as "one of our favorite pictures."
