Douglas HueblerBuffalo: Albright-Knox Art Gallery and CEPA Gallery, 1985.

28cm x 21.5cm. [44] pages, black and white illustrations. Pictorial saddle-stapled wrappers.
Brief fictions re-sounding from the proposal in Variable Piece #70: 1971 to photographically document the existence of everyone alive. Photographs of American conceptual artist Douglas Heubler’s Variable Piece #70, and found forgeries of works by Van Gogh, Matisse, and Degas, illustrating a disjointed screenplay. A reflection on the dark side of the art market.
Ex-Crocker Art Museum Research Library, minor stamps and stickers. Minor general wear. Good Condition.
