Up for bid is a very nice copy of EXPLOITED SUBJECTS by the acclaimed French artist BERNAR VENET. This multiple was created in 1970 for the seminal artist's portfolio entitled ARTISTS & PHOTOGRAPHS. It was published by Multiples,Inc. in association with Colorcraft,Inc., New York. The Venet contribution consists of a 16 page Artist's book printed on thick cardstock boards. These boards are bound together with four steel rings. It is in excellent vintage condition, and measures 7" x 7" x 1" (not including the rings).

This boxed portfolio included works by: Mel Bochner, Christo, Jan Dibbets, Tom Gormley, Dan Graham, Douglas Huebler, Allan Kaprow, Michael Kirby, Joseph Kosuth, Sol LeWitt, Richard Long, Robert Morris, Bruce Nauman, Dennis Oppenheim, Robert Rauschenberg, Ed Ruscha, Robert Smithson, Bernar Venet and Andy Warhol. The boxed edition also included a small staple bound catalog with an essay by Lawrence Alloway. The edition size for the A&P portfolio is purported to be 1200, however there were only 200 of the complete boxed sets.  It has been widely discussed that the edition size of 1200 was never actually completed, and the true edition size for many of these multiples is much less. Several of these multiples were also sold individually. Please note: The storage box designed by Dan Graham is being sold separately and is not included in this auction. Please see my other auctions for several other works from this portfolio.
