Artist's book
Splitting
New York, 98 Greene Street Loft Press [Matta-Clark], 1974. Oblong, 32p. B/w. photographs (one folding). Stapled in printed wrappers.
* First edition of this seminal artist's book documenting Matta-Clark's now legendary 1974 chainsaw-assisted drawing and quartering of an abandoned house located at 322 Humphrey Street in Englewood, New Jersey. "Splitting" (booklet, but also a film) has to be remembered as ?one of the premier moments of a period in which anarchistic, architecturally oriented sculpture coexisted with Conceptual art.? cf. www.artic.edu/artworks/187171/splitting
