“‘Volume 1’ is the first in a series of books that will present different aspects of Michael Stipe’s multifaceted artistic personality. This book presents 35 photographs collected and taken by Stipe himself in the last 37 years of his career. While the images, on the one hand, reconstruct the artist’s encounter with some of the most important protagonists of American history and pop culture, on the other hand they address Stipe’s intimate and personal vision of homosexuality. ‘Volume 1’ was created in collaboration with artist Jonathan Berger and designer Julian Bittiner.” (publisher’s blurb) Michael Stipe (1960-) is an American singer and artist, best known as the lead singer of R.E.M. This copy signed by Stipe in pencil to the front pastedown with a signed copy obi from Hatchard’s.
