AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Second edition of 2015, of the first of the conceptual books.
Reproduction offset of 25 works by seven artists, totaling 175 works.

Known as the 'Xerox Book,' this work consists solely of pieces designed to be photocopied by Carl Andre, Robert Barry, Douglas Huebler, Joseph Kosuth, Sol LeWitt, Robert Morris, and Lawrence Weiner. These conceptual artists used the inherent imperfections of this reproduction technique (stains, imprecision, limited colors) to create graphic works that are part of their ongoing production.

Very good, close to excellent.
- Main defect present when purchased new in 2015: a red stain at the top, on the back of the last cover, very likely a printing defect on the press. (see photos)
The transparent rhodoid cover and the cover have very minimal signs of use, in very good condition.
