[Untitled] / Norman Shapiro
Pamphlet bindings
FA.B47.0711
1987
Folded, unbound booklet of photocopied photographic images with illustrations and text by Shapiro. Contents are pornographic in nature. Cover is folded in quarters and opens to reveal a centerfold-like spread of explicit images. CBA is accompanied by a typewritten, signed letter from Shapiro, addressed to the Center for Book Arts and "Bryan R.J.". "I thought it best to leave this book untitled. On one level it most exemplifies a genre of adult-bookstore pornography that goes back to my adolescence...my book is a fantasy that is both pornography and about pornography...it's a statement about lust, art, sublimation and fantasy..."--excerpt from letter.
