In a protective clear acetate dustwrapper. "He: / She:" is the late, great Robert Heinecken's charming spiral bound artist's book comprised of his Polaroid SX-70 reproductions of images of young, attractive couples accompanied by constructed flirtatious narratives. It is interesting to note that this was produced while Heinecken was teaching in Chicago in the early eighties, as it bears strong parallels to the charged gender-politics fueling the contemporary work of influential Windy City playwright David Mamet. An internally most handsome example (cited on page 37 of "From Fair to Fine 2" and page 24 of "From Fair to Fine 3") additionally SIGNED "Robert Heinecken" in black ink on the title page whose front cover unfortunately shows a fair amount of surface paper loss in addition to having been detached from the binding and subsequently repaired. It has been priced accordingly. 0-918914-10-8 Inventory Number: 019569
