LEADAPRON • 554 HUNTLEY DRIVE LOS ANGELES CA 90048 • 310 360 0554 • LEADAPRON.NET • BY APPOINTMENT ONLY Ed Ruscha Some Los Angeles Apartments Self-Published, Los Angeles, 1965. First Edition, limited to 700 copies. Octavo. Softbound with stiff boards in printed wrappers. Printed Wrappers. Near Fine in original glassine dust jacket. SIGNED by Ed Ruscha. Limited to seven hundred copies in its first printing, “Some Los Angeles Apartments” is Ed Ruscha’s third artist book - a photographic homage to the subtle beauty and confounding sameness of Southern California’s post-war rental property construction boom. The publisher’s fragile glassine wrapper is crisp, showing only the most minor age patination and a tiny chip missing at both the heel of the spine and lower foredge corner. All in all, this is an exceptional example of this important little gem that has become increasingly uncommon in the first edition, let alone signed. 7500
LEADAPRON • 554 HUNTLEY DRIVE LOS ANGELES CA 90048 • 310 360 0554 • LEADAPRON.NET • BY APPOINTMENT ONLY Ed Ruscha A Few Palm Trees Heavy Industries Publications, Hollywood, 1971. First Edition. Octavo. Softcover stiff black wrappers. Very clean, showing only mild edgewear. A bright, Fine copy. INSCRIBED by Ed Ruscha. Inscription reads simply “Billy.” Palm Trees features a recognizable element of the California landscape, and a favorite subject of Ruscha’s. The captions are the street addresses where the trees can be found. In the mock up for the book, Ruscha outlined each tree in white, and instructed the printer to drop out the background. Ruscha said of this book, “ I didn’t want a situational kind of picture; I wanted to focus only on the tree itself… I put addresses under the pictures so that at some point you could take that book and go back to the sites, face west, and see what each tree looks like. Then you’d always be on the true side of that picture.” Sylvia Wolf, Ed Ruscha and Photography, pg.165 2000
