Signed limited edition exhibition catalogue, including the work of Diane Arbus, John Baldessari, Louis Bernal, Jack Butler, William Eggleston, Lee Friedlander, Robert Mapplethorpe, Bea Nettles, and Karen Truax, issued with several signed prints and set of original slides. Retrospective exhibition of the US 1970s in photography, curated and introduced by Parker as a personal selection from a "maze of images that were often boring, sometimes beautiful, frequently bewildering and occasionally very frightening" — very like the decade itself. Representative selections include work in both color and black and white, manipulated with collage, mixed media, and photomontage effects. This copy includes original signed prints of Keith Smith's "Homage to Balthus," Todd Walker's "Untitled", a print by Truax from her "Painted Women" series, and an image from Alex Sweetman's "Survivors"; also included are an embossed laminated offset print by Don Worth, a replicated screenprinted page from a Robert Heinecken installation, and a plastic sleeve of 20 color slides. 11.5'' x 9.25''.
