Recent Pasts: Art in Southern California from the 1990s to Now, ed. John C. Welchman
Cover design from an image by Jennifer Pastor
Innovative anthology of essays on the alternative art scene in LA and art in the deserts and peripheries of SoCal.
I have two copies, one signed ($25) the other in its original publisher's heavy duty plastic wrap; both pristine, unread copies ... probably left over from a book launch.
