(McCARTHY, PAUL). Phillips, Lisa, Dan Cameron, Amelia Jones & Anthony Vidler. New York: Hatje Cantz Publishers & New Museum of Contemporary Art, 2000. First Edition. 4to. Pictorial Wrappers. Artist Monograph. Near Fine.. 257pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Designed by Linda Nietzsche-o (Nishio) and Paul McCarthy. With an exhibition history, performance history, filmography, and bibliography. This is the massive catalogue published in conjunction with the 2000 traveling retrospective of influential, idiosyncratic Los Angeles-based artist Paul McCarthy's work that presents a rather unique spin on the nature of societal norms, sexuality, childhood tales, cooking, and the relation of the body to all of the aforementioned. A most handsome example of this indispensable document showing a small indentation near the foredge of the last several pages. It has been priced accordingly. 3-7757-0949-5 Inventory Number: 022684
