Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Lucas Samaras wants to leave a record of his life and art for posterity. The astounding 700 pictures that compose this book have all been digitally altered and feature the artist at various stages of his life and in different moods, poses, states of undress. They range from images of a fresh-faced, innocent-looking boy to pictures of a bearded, sinister older man. Presiding over this autobiographical album - ostensibly a family album, for it begins with some photographs of Samaras' Greek family - are thirty-four larger-scale photos of the artist as he looks today. Samaras seems to find himself endlessly fascinating; indeed, he is as in love with his image as Narcissus was, absorbed in himself as though no one else existed. Unlike that mythological figure, Samaras hasn't yet drowned in his image, but death haunts his conciousness. 'Old age is catastrophe', he told me last time we spoke. His photos are unique in the annals of self-portraiture; only Francis Bacon's come close to them in traumatic intensity and self-distorting suffering.…

Hardcover. Zustand: VG+. First Edition. 4to, 104pp. Embossed spotted cloth with pictoral onlay as issued. Numerous Colour plates. Text in English. One of 2000 copies. Brilliant artist book cited by both Bertolotti and Roth. "Everything Lucas Samaras has created is to a degree a self-portrait. This book - autobiographical psychoanalysis, autophoto album, autointerview - is a unique multimedia portrait of the artist. What he says becomes visible in his photographs, and the photographic images are implicit in his writing. A statement made by Samaras to the critic Lawrence Alloway six years ago provides a few clues to his subtle, devious, poetic contents of his works: 'The manner in which art objects are made are erotic gestures . in the presence of an artistic creation there is a seeming merging of the self with a highly erotic reality called beauty. The eroticism isn't connected with life and death or with a partner's changing moods it is continuous. AUTOEROTIC. Narcissism is making one's body into art.' Samaras has done just that in this most extraordinary book, which we consider his most important work to date." Jean Lipman.…

First edition of Samarasâ multimedia self-portrait, featuring a self-interview, autobiography, and hundreds of Polaroid images, both black-and-white and in color. Large quarto, original embossed pictorial cloth, mounted cover photograph. Association copy, inscribed by Lucas Samaras to Les Navarre on the title page. Navarre was the director of the Harry Abrams Art Gallery and a close friend of the artist. In fine condition. The primary subject of Lucas Samaras' photographic work is his self-image, often shown distorted. He has worked with multi-media collages, manipulating the wet dyes in Polaroid photographic film to create what he calls "Photo-Transformations". Likewise, Samaras constructed rooms that contained elements from his own personal history, and he described his "Auto-Interviews" as "self-investigatory" interviews in the form of text works.…
