(MULLER, KARIN APOLLONIA). Muller, Karin Apollonia & Rodney Sappington. Santa Monica, CA. 2008.: Arcana Editions. First Edition Thus 1/20 Deluxe. Oblong 4to. Pictorial Boards, Boxed. Photography Monograph. As New/No Jacket - As Issued. np, 44 color illustrations. Text in English. Equal measures contemplative and bleak, "Angels in Fall" is Karin Apollonia Muller's compelling study of the urban and man-made landscape of Los Angeles. Shot in a muted palette with nary a blue sky or sunshine in sight, the German-born photographer's adopted city seems permanently cloaked in grey and solitude. Originally published by Kruse Verlag in 2001, this gem (cited on page 284 of Martin Parr and Gerry Badger's "The Photobook: A History Volume II") has been re-released in 2008 by the photographer and Arcana Editions in two versions limited to twenty copies and five artist's proofs each housed in a grey linen clamshell box accompanied by a SIGNED AND NUMBERED 10 ½ x 12" color photograph of one of two images from "Angels in Fall" in its own grey linen chemise. A brand new, pristine example from the edition of twenty copies containing the original SIGNED AND NUMBERED (07/20) photograph "Civitas (1997)". 3-934923-09-7 Inventory Number: 024088
