LEADAPRON • 554 HUNTLEY DRIVE LOS ANGELES CA 90048 • 310 360 0554 • LEADAPRON.NET • BY APPOINTMENT ONLY Chris Killip In Flagrante Martin Secker and Warburg, London, 1988. Softbound with illustrated front and back covers. 50 black & white reproductions. INSCRIBED by Chris Killip in the year of publication. Inscription read: “For Steve. (signed) Chris Killip. Mar. 1. 88.” The pictures in In Flagrante - primarily candid portraits and urban landscapes made in rich-toned black and white, predominantly shot with a 4x5 camera – were made in the northeast of England during the premiership of Margaret Thatcher. They capture an opposition to her purely monetarist, southern-orientated policies through a tale of neglect and inequitable struggle in the class war. It is an angry book that allows for beauty and sentiment even amidst the damaged lives of England’s working class. This book is about community, exploring the various communities in the Northeast – the communities of what we define as the ‘working class.’ Time and time again, the pain on the faces of those have no community of any kind, who have lost their sense of community, or who community has failed, is only too clear. In Flagrante, Latin for “caught red-handed,” is a dark, pessimistic journey, perhaps even a secret odyssey, where rigorous documentary is suffused with a contemplative inwardness, a rare quality in modern photography. – Parr & Badger, The Photobook: A History vol. 2 850
LEADAPRON • 554 HUNTLEY DRIVE LOS ANGELES CA 90048 • 310 360 0554 • LEADAPRON.NET • BY APPOINTMENT ONLY Jeff Koons Hulk Elvis Gagosian Gallery & Rizzoli International Publications, Inc., London & New York, 2009. First Edition. Large Quarto. Embossed Illustrated Boards. No jacket, As Issued. A pristine, Very Fine copy. SIGNED, INSCRIBED and SKETCHED in by Jeff Koons. Inscription reads “To Robert” with a sketch of flowers and is dated “11/14/09.” Designed by Base Design. This is the 2009 hardbound catalogue documenting Jeff Koons extraordinarily ambitious 2007 Gagosian Gallery London paintings exhibition entitled “Hulk Elvis,” in which he creates large works including images of the Incredible Hulk, inflatable monkeys, geishas, birds, and the Liberty Bell, all bursting with energy and precision. These spectacular pictorial inventions of brightly-colored silhouettes loom and recede in the swirling delirium of color and line, creating visceral manifestations that dazzle the eye and confound the senses.. In addition to documenting each of the works shown along with installation shots, it includes a lengthy essay by Scott Rothkopf as well as a transcribed interview with the artist by Hans Ulrich Obrist. 3000
