(CHAPMAN, JAKE & DINOS). Chapman, Jake & Dinos, David Falconer, Douglas Fogle & Nick Land. London, Graz, AUSTRIA & Berlin: ICA London, Grazer Kunstverein & KUNST-WERKE Berlin, 1996. First Edition. Small Square 4to. Pictorial Wrappers. Artists Monograph. Fine.. np, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. This is the copiously illustrated catalogue published in conjunction with the 1996 Jake and Dinos Chapman exhibition entitled "Chapmanworld". Circulated by London's Institute of Contemporary Art, it traveled to the Grazer Kunstverein and KUNST-WERKE Berlin, and was the first major retrospective of the transgressive sculptural work of the YBA twins. It contains essays by David Falconer ("Doctorin' the Retardis") and Douglas Fogle, artists' statements, and an intriguing textual contribution by Nick Land that seemingly requires a cryptographer to decipher. A most handsome example of this uncommon item. 1-900300-03-6 Inventory Number: 022034
