[Rarebooks] Charles Bukowski: 5 LARGE SIGNED PHOTOGRAPHS

[Charles Agvent]

(BUKOWSKI, Charles) (MONTFORT, Michael). 5 LARGE SIGNED PHOTOGRAPHS from 
the CARLTON WAY SUITE. Los Angeles: Focus, 1982 [1993]. First produced 
in 1982 as a portfolio of 12 photographs with an intended edition of 50. 
In fact only 2 sets were produced then due to lack of interest at the 
set price. In 1993, at the bequest of The Abandoned Planet Bookstore, 3 
other sets were produced making a total of only 5 published. These 5 
photographs (16" x 20") have each been SIGNED by Bukowski and Montfort 
and are numbered 3/50. In addition, Bukowski has annotated each 
photograph in red ink. The images are: 1) Bukowski lifting weights 
captioned by him "Writer at Work"; 2) the poet sprawled on a couch 
captioned "Where are the Women?"; 3) the poet carrying a large bundle 
walking down a sidewalk captioned "The Loot"; 4) Bukowski seated in his 
apartment before a table full of alcohol remnants and wildly gesturing 
captioned "Living the Good Life"; and 5) Bukowski lying down in a 
cemetery before a grave stone captioned "Just Kidding." Laid in is a 
letter from the bookseller explaining how he got Montfort to print these 
photographs and Bukowski to sign them in the hospital where he was dying 
of leukemia. Fine. (#016712)        $5,000.00
