Larry Clark Stickers
DID YOU THINK YOU HAD IT ALL? LIKE EVERYTHING THERE EVER WAS. MAYBE NOW IS THE TIME TO THINK AGAIN. WE HAD NEVER EVEN SEEN THIS BEFORE. FROM THE 1999 LARRY CLARK EXHIBITION AT THE GRONINGER MUSEUM, HOLLAND. A STICKER BOOK. EACH PAGE IS A STICKER. NOTHING BUT STICKERS.
Well, hello. Where have you been all our lives? Google launched in 1998. A year before this was published. And yet nothing ever showed up over the next 19 years. Spooky!
There are 24 sticker pages. They are on the right hand side. The left hand pages being the back of each sticker sheet. This above is one of the rectangular ones. The book measures 9 by 6 inches. So these are large stickers. So even if everyone ripped them up and stickered their boards and bedrooms we still ought to have seen evidence of at least one of them... but, no.
Oval sticker. Like the top of a very dangerous looking box of tissues. The graphic artworks are by Dutch designer and graphic artist Swip Stolk. Read something about him on this link. He is extraordinary enough in his own right.
The photos are skate photos. Blurred stills from a video. Cool kids with Kevin Bacon haircuts.
It is exceptionally scarce. Completely impossibly unfindable. And you could still buy it for this sticker alone!
This is not a cheap book. It may have been once but it certainly isn't now. Now it deserves to be in a museum but, better than that, you can buy it! Be brave. Hit the button below.
