My Pretty Pony (Deluxe Edition, Signed)

New York: Library Fellows of the Whitney Museum of American Art, 1988. Contents: 8 silkscreens and 10 lithographs, each interleaved with tissue guards. Very minor scuffing to aluminum boards; close to fine.. Deluxe Edition. Large folio. One of only 250 copies, in addition to 30 authors' copies, SIGNED by both Kruger and King to colophon. For the sixth volume in the Whitney's collaborative Artists and Writers Series, Barbara Kruger illustrates a short story from Stephen King; a grandfatherly parable about the relativity of time. In addition to 8 bold silkscreen prints, in her characteristic textual style, Kruger supplies a series of color lithographs depicting fallen horses and their riders, with a sequence of fragmented captions that together read: "Time ain't got nothing to do with how fast you can count." Bound in iconic aluminum boards, with an (expired) digital clock embedded to front panel; the accompanying care sheet reads: "The clock, which is expected to last through 1990, is manufactured by Big Time at 5 Terminal Road, West Hempstead, New York... You may choose to replace the clock or not; its failure is to be considered a property of the book." Contents: 8 silkscreens and 10 lithographs, each interleaved with original tissue guards.
