Estimate
US$12,000 - US$18,000
Price realised:
US$11,250
Beschreibung:

KAWARA, ON. I GOT UP. 12 volumes, complete (one volume for each year chronologically sequenced from 1968-1979 as indicated on spines). Each volume illustrated with profusion of photographic reproductions of postcards sent by the artist. 8vo, publisher's grey linen, front covers and spines lettered in black; original grey wooden slipcase with sliding panel. Number 41 of 90 copies signed by the artist in the final volume. The total edition also includes 10 artist's proofs. Between May 10, 1968 and September 17, 1979, On Kawara sent a postcard every day stating where he was and on the back of each card he stamped the words "I GOT UP AT", followed by the time (a non-exhaustive survey reveals he couldn't be accused of keeping regular hours, no doubt exacerbated by his peripatetic existence evidenced by the continent-hopping postmarks; see I WENT). Third published installment of the pioneering trilogy with I MET and I WENT. Fine. Brussels: mfc-michèle didier, 2008
