Here we have another comment from Salvador Castío, quoted in full (see Post 75):
The Alexander Catalog is a nice book. Up until the time it was published, 1993, it was, to the best of my knowledge, the first and only hardbound comprehensive catalog of Crumb's work. It was issued with a dollar bill that acted as a certificate of authenticity to the serial number below the gallery director's signature on the front flyleaf. Again, this book varies in price - from $200 to $2000 on eBay. There were initially 1800 copies published but after the show ended, gallery director Alexander Acevedo had 1300 copies destroyed! It's a nice book but I feel that the Ludwig's Museum 2004, Yeah, But is is Art? catalog and the recent Paris catalog are much nicer. Definitely worth looking for. Here's a link that you may find helpful; it's detailed listing of Crumb's exhibition history from the David Zwirner Gallery website:
Hello again. Ah typos, I hate typos. I meant to say, "I've seen them go for as low as $75," and, "Ludwig Museum." By the way, is there a way of contacting you? Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteSalvador: Your typo's have been corrected. Damn that Titivilius (Demon of Typo's).
