One of 600 copies. Perfect binding. This is one of two artists' books by Michalis Pichler issued in 2009 with the name Twentysix Gasoline Stations. This version consists of photographs taken by Pichler of the third edition (1969) of Ed Ruscha's Twentysix Gasoline Stations. Pichler held Ruscha's book with one hand and took photographs with the other. "Shot from the hip, this is a bootleg of Ed Ruscha ́s synonymus [sic] classic. Delivering use value, missing out on exchange value. At the same time it is also the clandestine twin of a book published by Michalis Pichler, also in 2009, under the same title." --Michalis Pichler.
