ROBERT SMITHSON - TORN PHOTOGRAPH (1970) Artists & Photographs ruscha huebler

Description: Up for bid is a very nice example of TORN PHOTOGRAPH FROM THE 2ND STOP (RUBBLE) (2ND MOUNTAIN OF 6 STOPS ON A SECTION) by the acclaimed American artist ROBERT SMITHSON . This multiple was created in 1970 for the seminal artist's portfolio entitled ARTISTS & PHOTOGRAPHS . It was published by Multiples Inc. in association with Colorcraft Inc. (New York). The Smithson contribution consists of an offset lithograph, torn into four pieces, with a glassine envelope (12" x 12"). The size of this unique torn lithograph measures approx 22" x 22" as shown (including the negative spacing); each torn section measures approx 10.5" x 10.5" and is unique in shape. All contents are in excellent vintage condition as shown. This boxed portfolio included works by: Mel Bochner, Christo, Jan Dibbets, Tom Gormley, Dan Graham, Douglas Huebler, Allan Kaprow, Michael Kirby, Joseph Kosuth, Sol LeWitt, Richard Long, Robert Morris, Bruce Nauman, Dennis Oppenheim, Robert Rauschenberg, Ed Ruscha, Robert Smithson, Bernar Venet and Andy Warhol. The boxed edition also included a small staple bound catalog with an essay by Lawrence Alloway. The edition size for the A&P portfolio is purported to be 1200, however there were only 200 of the complete boxed sets. It has been widely discussed that the edition size of 1200 was never actually completed, and the true edition size for many of these multiples is much less. Several of these multiples were also sold individually. Please note: The storage box designed by Dan Graham is being sold separately and is not included in this auction. Please see my other auctions for several other works from this portfolio. This item will ship via USPS 1st Class to all domestic locations. All foreign locations will ship via eBay International Standard Delivery.
