James Lee Byars
Gold Dust is My Ex Libris
Eindhoven, The Netherlands: Stedelijk Van Abbemuseum, 1983
[unpaginated], 17 x 17 x 16 cm., softcover
Edition of 500
Also known as "The White Cube" (or even "Untitled") this sculptural object/artist book/exhibition catalogue was published to coincide with an exhibition at the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven in 1983.
Despite being over a thousand pages, the book features no more content than a standard exhibition catalogue. The block effect is achieved by surrounding the printed pages with a series of blank pages at the beginning and ending of the book.
Because of its size and weight the book is fragile, and copies in pristine condition are uncommon.
