Klappentext zu „Brouws, J: VARIOUS SMALL BOOKS “
In the 1960s and 1970s, the artist Ed Ruscha created a series of small photo-conceptual artist¿s books, among them Twentysix Gas Stations, Various Small Fires, Every Building on the Sunset Strip, Thirtyfour Parking Lots, Real Estate Opportunities, and A Few Palm Trees. Featuring mundane subjects photographed prosaically, with idiosyncratically deadpan titles, these ¿small books¿ were sought after, collected, and loved by Ruscha¿s fans and fellow artists. Over the past thirty years, close to 100 other small books that appropriated or paid homage to Ruscha¿s have appeared throughout the world. This book collects ninety-one of these projects, showcasing the cover and sample layouts from each along with a description of the work. It also includes selections from Ruscha¿s books and an appendix listing all known Ruscha book tributes.

Rezension zu „Brouws, J: VARIOUS SMALL BOOKS “
"At once celebratory, serious, and challenging, the collection gracefully offers new points of inquiry for considering an artist whose core questions remain wonderfully unresolved." -- Publishers Weekly " Various Small Books offers a survey of how an artist's body of work can influence art history and contemporary practice. But it is also a perceptive look at how appropriation can evolve into innovation." -- Steven Heller, New York Times Book Review
