Photography Monograph. As New/No Jacket - As Issued. 54pp, 25 color illustrations. Designed by Paul McMenamin. Originally published in conjunction with her 1995 solo exhibition at Los Angeles' Museum of Contemporary Art, Uta Barth's first publication gorgeously illustrates the artist's then-current body of work. Its hazy color photographs of indistinct residential settings and domestic details are mysteriously evocative and suggestive of great meaning. In 2002, the extraordinary St. Ann's Press produced in collaboration with the artist this new edition of her unavailable catalogue featuring a different cover photograph, and color images for the text illustrations previously reproduced in black and white. A brand new, pristine example of the uncommon deluxe hardbound, slipcased edition limited to one hundred copies NUMBERED (10/100), SIGNED, AND DATED by Uta Barth in black ink on the title page, still in the publisher's original plastic wrapping, as issued. 0-9713681-0-4 Inventory Number: 024361
