Pop Art – First edition of this legendary pop-artist's book of the 1960s. Present a copy of the normal edition with a print run of 2000, numbered with stencil in the colophon. - A superb anthology of mostly lyrical texts, congenially illustrated.

Sonderborg, Mel Ramos (2), the main author Walasse Ting (6) and others. - 'Like no other artist's book at the beginning of the sixties, Walasse Ting has succeeded with "1 c life" in once again presenting an artist's book borne by the spirit of the French "livre illustré"... His book strikes a difficult balance between the artistically high standards of the conventional 'painter's book' and the popularity that the Anglo-American 'artist-book'... demanded of artists' books' (Primus). - Dust jacket slightly bumped and worn at corners and edges, otherwise a well-preserved copy of this bibliophile icon of pop-art.
