ROBERT IRWIN KENNETH PRICE
(IRWIN, ROBERT) (PRICE, KEN). Leider, Philip & Lucy R. Lippard. Los Angeles: Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 1966. First Edition 1/1000. Small Square 4to. Printed Wrappers. Artist Monograph. Fair.. np (42pp), 15 b&w and 2 color illustrations. Designed by John and Marilyn Neuhart. With an exhibition checklist and biographies. This is the austere catalogue published in conjunction with the important 1966 two person exhibition of works by Robert Irwin and Kenneth Price held at the Lytton Gallery at The Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Both were then affiliated with the legendary Ferus Gallery, with Robert Irwin exhibiting five recent paintings on canvas and Price seventeen ceramic sculptures. As was Irwin's policy at the time, none of his work was allowed to be photographed for reproduction, so the catalogue consists of two essays and plates of Price's sculptures only. A serviceable example only of this elusive item limited to one thousand unnumbered copies showing some light soiling and foxing, a previous owner's name in ink on the title page, and most egregiously, liberal underlining to the text. It has been priced accordingly. Inventory Number: 024795
