POINT D'IRONIE 16 - MAI 2000: RICHARD BILLINGHAM
(BILLINGHAM, RICHARD) (POINT D'IRONIE). Obrist, Hans-Ulrich & Carrie Pitto, Editors. Paris: agnès b., 2000. First Edition. Folio. Pictorial Tabloid Wrappers. Artist's Periodical. Fine.. Two 17 x 24" sheets printed color offset recto and verso, neatly folded in half vertically to make 8pp, profusely illustrated in color. This sixteenth installment of "point d'ironie" - agnès b.'s Hans-Ulrich Obrist-edited tabloid format hybrid periodical - is a project devoted to Richard Billingham's iconic "Ray's A Laugh" series. According to the artist: "These photos are taken from the TV screen of video footage I shot and later played back. They are of my father, Ray, and Tony, a friend of mine on the estate. Ray always has to have his drink before he goes to bed and Tony his smoke - otherwise they cannot sleep". A most handsome example of this uncommon, fragile item that was issued hors commerce - never commercially for sale - showing only some minor handling marks to its lightweight paper stock.
