first edition
1976 · [New York]
by Lewitt, Sol
[New York]: John Weber Gallery, 1976. First edition of this iconic artist’s book by conceptual artist Sol Lewitt, reproducing a series of “location drawings” that capture, in text and image, the taxonomy of the visual line. Precise and absurd, the detailed verbal description of each “straight, not-straight & broken” line is juxtaposed with the direct trajectory represented by the line itself. Although there is no ownership signature in the book, this copy is from the collection of American artist Mike Glier, partner and collaborator of Jenny Holzer, whose work recalls Lewitt’s distinctive typographic book design. A bright, near-fine copy. Side-stapled (truncated)
