As New.. np (40pp), profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Art Direction by Micol Talso. "Toilet Paper" is an artists' magazine created and produced by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari, born out of a passion or obsession they both cultivate: images. The magazine contains no text - each picture springs from an idea, often simple, and through a complex orchestration of people it becomes the materialization of the artists' mental outbursts. Since the first issue, in June 2010, "Toilet Paper" has created a world that displays ambiguous narratives and a troubling imagination. It combines the vernacular of commercial photography with twisted narrative tableaux and surrealistic imagery. The result is a publication that is itself a work of art which, through its accessible form as a magazine, and through its wide distribution, challenges the limits of the contemporary art economy". A brand new, pristine example of the sixth issue of this fascinating, irregularly issued artist's project with the variant "Special Edition Cover" showing a tabletop covered with sweets, meats, and insects still in the publisher's shrinkwrap. 8-897856-06-3 Inventory Number: 025671
