POINT D'IRONIE 6 - MAI 1998: LAWRENCE WEINER
(WEINER, LAWRENCE) (POINT D'IRONIE). Obrist, Hans-Ulrich & Carrie Pitto, Editors. Paris: agnès b., 1998. First Edition. Folio. Illustrated Tabloid Wrappers. Artist's Periodical. Near Fine.. Two 17 x 24" sheets printed color offset recto and verso, neatly folded in half vertically to make 8pp, profusely illustrated. This sixth installment of "point d'ironie" - agnès b.'s Hans-Ulrich Obrist-edited tabloid format hybrid periodical - is a text-based project by Lawrence Weiner. According to the artist: "WHEN & IF AN OBJECT IS WHAT IT IS & NOT A METAPHOR FOR SOMETHING ELSE THIS OBJECT HAVING ARRIVED AT THE FACT IS NOT OBLIGATED IN ANY WAY TO TAKE A GIVEN DIRECTION." 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.
