AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

At the center of this book is a series of six large-format images on fold-out pages. These are reproductions of three paintings by Ruscha from the years 1985 to 2017, depicting the U.S. flag in different states. In the first pair of mirrored images, the American flag waves with youthful energy against a bright blue sky. In the second pair, dark clouds loom threateningly behind the stars and stripes. In the third pair, a tattered flag against a black background hints at a bleak future for the United States of America.

Published in 2018 in Berlin by Revolver Publishing in collaboration with Secession as a companion book to the exhibition.

Small quarto format, unpaginated. Bound in grey publisher's linen. 124 pages, English, 20.5 x 38 cm, ISBN 978-3-95763-416-0

Nearly perfect condition, collectible.
