A unique photographic artist's book by the installation artist, comprised of a sequence of seven 6.5 x 5 cm original silver print photographs, mounted on decorated Japanese paper, with rubber-stamped title. The photographs result in a sequential revelation of the subject of the book. Signed and dated by the artist, and with his business card laid in with ms. note on verso. Colp's installation, "The Commuter's Lament - A Close Shave," was commissioned by the NYC MTA, and is his most widely recognized work.

First edition in this format, the text rendered in script, and accompanied by illustrations, all as screenprints, by Klaus Zylla. One of 103 numbered copies, signed by the author and the artist.

[Amsterdam: Da Costa Editions, October 1982].. Nine panel leporello, bound into. quarto (33 x 25 cm) cloth and boards portfolio with pictorial onlay and ribbon ties. Near fine. First edition. Copy #1 of twenty numbered copies, signed by the artist. Apart from the justification statement, a dark, functionally textless artist's book, featuring ghostly serigraphed images rendered doubly obscure by their appearance in the context of a long cascade of thin rectangular shapes blurred to the extent that they present a repetitive pattern almost like the appearance of laid bricks, all in somber blacks and grays. In an interview, the artist asserted that this work was a product of his mindset after his divorce.
