(NOBLE, TIM + WEBSTER, SUE). Noble, Tim, Sue Webster, Larry Johnson & Andrew MacLachlan. Beverly Hills, CA: Gagosian Gallery, 2001. First Edition. Oblong Small 4to. Embossed Wrappers. Artist Monograph. Very Good.. 62pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Designed by Andrew MacLachlan and Sue Webster. With an exhibition checklist. "Tim Noble and Sue Webster have created a remarkable group of anti-monuments in their eleven-year career, mixing the strategies of modern sculpture and the attitude of punk to make art from anti-art. They sculpt piles of street rubbish, studio debris, and taxidermied animals into astonishing representations of life with "real" shadows of the artists themselves hovering over their accumulations of discarded objects. These abstract forms mysteriously reverse the abstraction into figuration". Published in conjunction with their 2001 Gagosian Gallery Beverly Hills installation "Instant Gratification", this is one crazy-ass over-the-top catalogue cum artists' book from British bad boy and girl Noble and Webster. A handsome example of this uncommon item showing some mild rubbing and soiling to the wrappers. 1-880154-64-1 Inventory Number: 020705
