Illustrated with 9 color photographic plates. 4to., 295 x 200 mm, bound in printed wrappers, in a new green and tan cloth box with printed paper spine label. Milano, Edizioni Toselli, 1972. (#144795) $3,500.00 In the game “Choosing: Green Beans,” each player selects three green beans from a group.

JOHN BALDESSARI: Brutus Killed Caesar [4] pp. Illustrated with 33 photographic tryptichs. Oblong 8vo., 100 x 275 mm, bound in publisher’s spiral-bound wrappers. Preserved in tan cloth box. Akron, The Emily H. Davis Art Gallery of The University of Akron, [1976]. $2,500.00 First Edition. Printed in a limited edition. The artist juxtaposes three images in a tryptich format. Each page repeats the use of the same two portraits: an young man on the left and and an older man on the right. The center image then creates the crucial dialogue between the other two—Baldessari makes use of a variety of objects that could all be used as murder weapons—some a bit more mundane than others: a kitchen knife, a banana peel, an apple and a revolver, a cue ball, a briefcase a wire coat hanger, among others. A very fine copy of this conceptual artist’s book.
