Second edition, published in a limited edition of 300 copies (The first edition of 196 was published in only 400 copies). - This booklet is Ed Ruscha's second photographically illustrated artist's book. Contains photographic images of fires, including a gas stove, a cigarette, a pipe, a cigar, a welding torch, a highway flare, and more; the final image shows a glass of milk. "Ed Ruscha's works retain their capacity to surprise, delight, and bewilder in equal measure. In the decades since their publication, they have been exhibited, written about, and analyzed extensively, yet somehow they remain objects of mystery and fascination, beguiling in their utter simplicity and unwavering accuracy.
