A catalogue covering works from an exhibition of the artists’ collages. This show features relatively late works by both artists, all made in the course of 2001, and is notable for the way in which the events of September 11, 2001 register in the carefully planned and sophisticated collage works of Claude Pelieu. Text contributions are by long time associate Charles Plymell, and Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore. Trade edition of 500.

A deluxe edition of 10, bound in black, cloth-covered boards, featuring original collaged artworks by both artists, is presently available. Artworks are enclosed in a cloth-covered folder. Book and folder are housed in a cardboard slipcase with cloth trimmings. Price is $2000.
