Your Golden Opportunity is Comeing Very Soon

Shaughnessy, R.J. Your Golden Opportunity is Comeing Very Soon. Los Angeles: Published by the author, 2009. Limited First edition. 1/500. Folio. Unpaginated. [44]pp. Original white printed paper covered boards with black lettering on spine and front cover. Remarkable collection of 37 striking photographs from LA-based photographer R.J. Shaughnessy whose subjects are the barriers in the world around us: fences, walls, posts, and pillars, each of which has been battered and broken, crumpled, dented, scratched and smudged. All of the these forms are photographed with an eye to extreme contrast, the harsh white light from a flash adding a wince inducing glare to the whites in the nighttime pictures. What is left is some kind of surreal nocturnal (or subterranean) environment of destruction and disregard, the setting for a 21st century crime scene. Limitation page numbered and signed by R.J. Shaughnessy (No. 423/500). Very minor soiling on covers. Slight age-toning along paper margin. Binding and interior in overall very good condition. vg. Hardcover. (33250) $95
