JOHN BALDESSARI: Choosing: Green Beans
Title-page and [2] ff. text. Illustrated with 9 color photographic plates. 4to., 295
x 200 mm, bound in printed wrappers, in a new green and tan cloth box with
printed paper spine label. Milano, Edizioni Toselli, 1972. (#144795) $3,500.00
In the game “Choosing: Green Beans,” each player selects three green beans
from a group. From the three, which are placed on a surface to be photographed,
Baldessari selects one, a choice documented in each of these nine plates. The
game continues until all green beans have been used. With explanations in
Italian and English dated December 1971. This is a presentation copy inscribed
on the front free endpaper by Baldessari “For Judith—” with the artist’s
signature. One from an edition of 1500.
JOHN BALDESSARI: Brutus Killed Caesar
[4] pp. Illustrated with 33 photographic tryptichs. Oblong 8vo., 100 x 275 mm,
bound in publisher’s spiral-bound wrappers. Preserved in tan cloth box. Akron,
The Emily H. Davis Art Gallery of The University of Akron, [1976]. $2,500.00
First Edition. Printed in a limited edition. The artist juxtaposes three images
in a tryptich format. Each page repeats the use of the same two portraits: an
young man on the left and and an older man on the right. The center image
then creates the crucial dialogue between the other two—Baldessari makes
use of a variety of objects that could all be used as murder weapons—some a
bit more mundane than others: a kitchen knife, a banana peel, an apple and a
revolver, a cue ball, a briefcase a wire coat hanger, among others. A very fine
copy of this conceptual artist’s book.
