About This Item
Richmond, VA: Davi Det Hompson. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Very Good. A self-published artist's book consisting of fifteen short, sardonic anecdotes, one per page, all dealing with various characters' reactions to "my writings," "my work," etc.: 'Placing his hand flat against the wall a student called to me and said, "This is it. This is what your pieces are doing."' Saddle-stapled in plain paper. 8.5 x 5.5 in.; unpaginated (16pp., including covers). Very good condition, some brown dampstains along top edge, primarily at the spine corner. Although undated, Clive Phillipot ascribes this phase of Hompson's book production specifically to the years 1976-77 ("Some Contemporary Artists and Their Books," in "Artists' Books: A Critical Anthology and Sourcebook," ed. Joan Lyons, 120).
