Benes, Barton Lidice [Introduction by John Berendt]

(Book #ID 102876)

Published by Harry N. Abrams, New York, First Edition 2002. 2002.

First edition hard back binding in publisher's original cream silk cloth covers, colour onlay to the front cover. Quarto. 9½'' x 9¼''. Barton Benes imbues mundane objects with the mystical power of holy relics. He assembles modern-day curiosity cabinets, or reliquaries, out of everyday objects that have been touched by fame. From such celebrity-owned articles as Madonna's panties, Bill Clinton's throat lozenge, O. J. Simpson's glove, Larry Hagman's gallstone, and glass from the car crash in which Princess Diana died, Benes creates an art that is as arresting as it is unique. Whether his creativity is fuelled by discards with the pedigree of fame or infamy, such as a Frank Sinatra fingernail clipping or the Son of Sam's hair, or by unusual and strange objects from human and natural history, such as mummy dust, Benes mounts and labels the items and assembles them into mini-museums that are alternately provocative, disturbing, and amusing, but always compelling Contains 132 pp. Fine condition book in Fine condition dust wrapper with peek-a-boo to the front cover, unused new book. Dust wrapper supplied in archive acetate film protection. Member of the P.B.F.A. ISBN 0810935376
