Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Paperback, 102 pages, 86 color reproductions 22.8×22.8 cm. Oh Lover Boy is the result of a two years collaboration with performance artist Franko B during which Vason followed him and documented every single live performance in UK and Europe. The project/collaboration was triggered by the necessity to establish a more profound connection with an artist whose work Vason found complex and problematic. It is during this time that Vason understood the potentiality of performances for camera. The book contains text by Sarah Wilson and an interview between the artist and Gray Watson. Sticker on first page, else fine.

Endpapers of book by Daniel Buren. "Since public museums came into being in the late 18th century, artists have looked upon them with a mixture of reverence, complicity, suspicion, and disdain. In The Museum as Muse, artists of many persuasions speak their minds about museums, their functions and spaces, their practices and politics, and their relationship to the art they contain. More than 60 artists are represented by a wide range of works: photographs of museum patrons by Henri Cartier-Bresson and Elliot Erwitt; 'personal museums' and 'cabinets of curiosities' by Charles Wilson Peale, Marcel Duchamp, and Claes Oldenburg; fantasies of the destruction or transformation of museums by Hubert Robert, Ed Ruscha, and Christo and more, including works created especially for this project by contemporary artists, and an anthology of statements and writings by artists about museums. This volume was published to accompany an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York." -- publisher's statement. Very Good.
