Moynihan, Danny (Author) & Hirst, Damien (Artist) : Boogie-woogie: The Signed Limited Edition

Duckworth Literary Entertainment, London, England, 2000

ISBN 0715630210

First Edition / First Printing. As New in As New Dust Jacket. 254 pages. The author's breakthrough debut novel. Collaborative effort with Damien Hirst. Now considered a contemporary art and literary classic. Limited Edition of 500 numbered and signed copies. Precedes and should not be confused with the regular trade edition. Published as a hardcover original in the United Kingdom only. There is NO American Edition. The Limited Edition is now rare. One of the most stunningly beautiful books ever published: Regular-sized volume format. Red cloth boards with gilt titles on spine, as issued. Text by Danny Moynihan. Original art by Damien Hirst. Hirst's art is in the form of the wraparound DJ cover, a hectic collage that consists of and alludes to the art of various contemporary artists. He gives credit to all of them: Sarah Lucas, Marc Quinn, Jeff Koons, Michael Joo, Matthew Collishaw, and himself. With Damien Hirst's supervision, one of his most fully realized (and financially accessible) creations underwent two further transformations: The photograph of Hirst's original art was taken by Mike Parsons while the subsequent digital manipulation was done by Steve Warner. Both the title and the art are an unmistakable homage to Piet Mondrian's "Broadway Boogie-Woogie". Red satin ribbon marker. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents Danny Moynihan's and Damien Hirst's "Boogie-Woogie". The book-as-beautiful object because of its DJ design. The main attraction of the Limited Edition is Damien Hirst's DJ art. Discovered by Charles Saatchi (who bought his entire debut exhibition), Damien Hirst is not only the contemporary British art world's answer to Andy Warhol, he is our Warhol, the most famous (and most expensive) artist of our time. Moynihan holds his own: "Sharp and wickedly sexy, 'Boogie-Woogie' is the look at the contemporary art world we've all been waiting for. It will be required reading in twenty years. In the meantime, read it and laugh. Satire doesn't come any more brilliant than this" (Cressida Connolly). No, it doesn't, and the duo deserves our lasting gratitude for bursting the bubble of the New York art scene's powers-that-be. An absolute "must-have" title for Damien Hirst and Danny Moynihan collectors. This copy is one of the Signed Limited Edition of 500 numbered and signed copies, indicated/numbered as such on the Front Limitation Page. It is very prominently and beautifully numbered and signed in black pen by Danny Moynihan. The "Limited Edition" Duck Seal is stamped directly on the page itself, not a tipped-in page. In addition, the Limited Edition is spectacularly signed in black ink-pen on the DJ itself by Damien Hirst, thereby turning it into an original art piece. This title is a contemporary Artist Book classic. This is one of few copies of the Signed Limited Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. A rare signed copy thus. Two of the most brilliant artists of our time. A fine collectible copy. . ISBN 0715630210.
