One 30 x 20" paper sheet printed black and white offset, recto only, 1 b&w illustration.

Filmed by Andy Warhol and Paul Morrissey from a treatment by Ronnie Tavel on location inside Manhattan's fabled Chelsea Hotel, the film received upon its 1966 release an X certificate from the British Board of Film Censors, meaning it was unable to be theatrically released in the UK. It took another three years before the full three and a half hour split-screen version of "Chelsea Girls" - featuring Factory Superstars Nico, Brigid Berlin, Ondine, Gerard Malanga, Eric Emerson, Mary Woronov, Mario Montez, Ingrid Superstar, and International Velvet - would receive a London premiere. A bright, most handsome flat example of the 1970 Motif Editions London first commercially-produced version of the poster showing the tiniest bit of creasing at the lower left corner along with some unobtrusive handling indentations that can be seen in raking light.

Fifteen individual 7 ½ x 10 ¼" plates printed offset recto only, 15 b&w illustrations. Self-published in 1970, "Impersonations" is Los Angeles-based artist Scott Grieger's wildly hilarious, photographically illustrated artist's book of send-ups of iconic works by many of the then-prevailing luminaries of Pop, Conceptual and Minimal Art. Using the photographic studio and some darkroom magic, the hirsute Grieger clad in jeans, desert boots, and a white t-shirt substitutes himself for artworks ranging from a Barnett Newman "zip" to one of Robert Irwin's illuminated disc paintings. The fifteen artists receiving these wry homages are Ronald Bladen, Tony DeLap, Robert Grosvenor, Irwin, Les Levine, Sol LeWitt, John McCracken, Robert Morris, Newman, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Rauschenberg, George Rickey, Richard Serra, Robert Smithson, and Ernest Trova. The "Impersonations" photographs were subsequently shown in MoMA's landmark 1970 Conceptual Art exhibition "Information", the 1972 Whitney Annual, "Los Angeles '72" at New York's Sidney Janis Gallery, and were the subject of a 2007 retrospective with catalogue at the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art at Utah State University.
