Artist's Book. Very Good.. np (36pp), 18 b&w illustrations. In a protective clear acetate dustwrapper.

Over the subsequent decades, the erstwhile Southern California artist has deservedly become an international contemporary art icon. Limited to one hundred copies, "The Language of Romantic Thought" is his 1992 Superflux-published artist book cum 'zine collaboration that reproduces twenty psychologically-charged drawings. An internaly most handsome, guaranteed authentic example of this exceedingly uncommon Pettibon tour de force (entry number ninety-eight in Uwe Koch and Roberto Ohrt's "A Catalogue Raisonné of Artists' Books by Raymond Pettibon, 1978-98") HAND NUMBERED "18/100" in blue ink by the artist on the front cover, as issued, showing a half-dozen small oily brown droplets mildly staining the front cover. It has been priced accordingly. Inventory Number: 025699
