23 Pieces
Allen Ruppersberg
1969
Los Angeles: Self-published
Unpaginated [58 pages]
15.9 × 21 cm

Formed, like other prominent artists of his generation, including Noah Purifoy and Ed Ruscha, at the Chouinard Art Institute, Allen Ruppersberg has divided his time between Los Angeles and New York. A pioneer of Conceptual art, his practice spans painting, photography, sculpture, installation, and artists’ books.


 


Part of a numerical series, “23 Pieces” gathers twenty-three black-and-white photographs of places in and around Los Angeles, including Griffith Park, the Century Plaza Hotel, the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History, and the Hasty Tasty Sandwich Shop. Spiral-bound and without text, this minimal artist’s book is characteristic of Ruppersberg’s practice.


 


Slightly performative in nature, with the artist himself appearing intermittently throughout its pages, “23 Pieces” functions as a psychogeographical study of Los Angeles in 1969, a pivotal year for Conceptual art.
