Georg Herold, Ich komme nicht zum Abendessen/ I'm not coming to dinner

Cologne, Max Hetzler, 1984. Special edition with sculpture. Hardcover book with mounted copper coloured doorknob on the front cover. 21.5 x 14.5 x 4.5 cm , 40 pp. Ills. b/w and colour. Photos by Schaub, Förg and Herold, with images of works by Martin Kippenberger (Goethe-Latte, Käsefalle, Kuhbilde), Herold et al. Text in German. Interior of the book is in mint condition.

This is one of 20 special editions of the artists’ book, with a regular edition of 300. All special editions are unique, the Stedelijk Museum has a copy with a mounted clothes hook. The cover has some galvanized copper-like stains above the doorknob, it is unclear whether these are intentional (they seem to fit Herold's work) as no information on the special editions could be found. Super rare item.
