KING SIZE: A Project about Tags, DIY-Craft & Subcultural Globalization (First Edition)

$175.00

First edition artist’s book documenting Adam Kraft’s King Size marker project. Beginning in 2000, Kraft constructed twenty homemade markers with 50-mm tips and 200-ml reservoirs, distributing them among writers in six cities. The resulting photographs follow SACER in New York, TWIST in San Francisco, FOE in Paris, KEGR in Copenhagen, NUG in Stockholm, and ZYS in Tokyo. Texts include Craig Castleman’s “Gotten Up,” Andreas Berg’s “Graffiti Is Vandalism,” and Joe Austin’s “Two Tagged Stories from the USA.” One of 3000 copies published in Stockholm in 2004 by A5 Press. Small 8vo (4.25” x 7.25”), 306 pages, extensively illustrated in black-and-white. Recycled corrugated-cardboard boards with black cloth spine and applied title label; each cover assembled by hand and consequently unique. With the publisher’s pink A5 Press promotional label laid in. Covers characteristically creased, punctured, and rubbed, with edge wear; binding sound and contents clean.
