ALLEN RUPPERSBERG: YOU AND ME OR THE ART OF GIVE AND TAKE (GUEST INFORMANT) - SKETCHBOOK
(RUPPERSBERG, ALLEN). Ruppersberg, Allen. Santa Monica, CA: Santa Monica Museum of Art, 2009. First Edition. 4to. Spiral Bound Wrappers. Artist's Book. As New./No Jacket - As Issued.. np (132pp), illustrated in color and b&w. Designed by Allen Ruppersberg. This is the clever artist's sketchbook cum artist's book published in conjunction with Al Ruppersberg's 2009 Santa Monica Museum of Art survey entitled "You and Me or the Art of Give and Take". Mimicking the form of the show's exhibition catalogue that itself mimicked a spiral bound 1956 Mark Hopkins Hotel "Guest Informant" guidebook to California that had been radically altered by the artist, this includes reproductions of Ruppersberg's collages and recycled imagery uniquely interlaced amongst the blank pages. A brand new, pristine example of this exceedingly uncommon item that was for sale in the Museum's gift shop only during the run of the exhibition. Inventory Number: 024851
