Various Small Fires

Edition : Second Printing / Los Angeles / Edward Ruscha / 1970 / Softcover. / Near Fine / VG+
8vo. Unpaginated (ca 48pp). White printed wraps in glassine dustwrapper. 15 Duotone and 1 black & white image. Limited to 3000 copies. A stunning copy, with only a little sunning and a small chip to the spine of the glassine. Scarce in such good condition.

My favourite of Ruscha’s banal series books- fifteen images depicting lit matches, cigarettes, a gas stove burner, a blowtorch, a lit piece of paper, a stove, a highway flare and so on followed by a glass of milk.
