To sell this material, Leiber produced a series of 52 iconic catalogs between 1992 and 2010. Far from your ordinary dealer catalog, Leiber's catalogs paid homage to the kind of historic printed matter that he bought and sold, mimicking iconic publications like Wallace Berman's \u003ci\u003eSemina\u003c\/i\u003e journal and the exhibition catalog for Documenta V (1972). Leiber's reputation spread via these unique volumes, which included works by John Baldessari, Lynda Benglis, Ray Johnson, Lucy Lippard, Allan Kaprow, Yayoi Kusama, Claes Oldenburg, Ed Ruscha, Lawrence Weiner and many more. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAcross 252 pages, this book documents the full set of 52 dealer catalogs produced by Steven Leiber between 1992 and 2010. Inspired by Leiber's often humorous borrowing for his catalog designs, the book's format references Sol LeWitt's \u003ci\u003eAutobiography\u003c\/i\u003e and includes an essay and contextual notes by SFMOMA Head Librarian David Senior. Additional contributors include Ann Butler, Christophe Cherix, Marc Fischer, Adam Michaels, Tom Patchett, David Platzker, Marcia Reed, Lawrence Rinder and Robin Wright. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteven Leiber\u003c\/b\u003e (1957-2012) began to buy and sell ephemera while working as a private dealer selling prints, drawings and multiples in the early 1980s. Scrupulously organized and cataloged, Leiber's collection--housed in his grandmother's basement--became an important resource for scholars, curators and other enthusiasts. The collection included the work of some 1,000 artists and represented practically every major movement within late 20th-century avant-garde practice, including Fluxus, conceptual art, land art, mail art, performance and video.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 252\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 10.2 x 10.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 20, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47174783860985,"sku":"9781941753248","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/MjZ4VTJsUnAzMS9FMDJ1SEMrb2ptUT09_431953d6-acd2-4c5c-9c32-92723b0bdeb1.webp?v=1767650879","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/steven-leiber-catalogs-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
