First edition of American post-conceptual artist Rob Pruitt’s exuberantly irreverent project book, published in an edition of 1000 in 2010 by 38th Street Publishers. Per the publisher, “Holy Crap collects hundreds of photographs of outdoor church signs, whose punchy maxims, written to attract visitors and provide sage advice to passersby, most often fall short of the mark. Artist Rob Pruitt relishes the misspellings, accidental double entendres, and awkward references to popular culture employed by just about every denomination of the Christian church." 8vo (5.75” x 8.75”), stiff pictorial wrappers, 320 pages, offset b/w reproductions. Spray-painted spine and gilt edging with a red ribbon book mark and a ‘drilled hole for ease of hanging'. Light bumping and rubbing to extremities, with limited creasing to front joint.
