GENESIS P-ORRIDGE 'S/he Is Her/e: Poems For Thee Majesty' Book (First Edition) #415/500

Condition: as new

Kathmandu, Nepal: New Way On Press, 2000. First Edition. Hardcover. Original boards, covered with red hand-made paper, titling in gilt to upper cover. B/w frontispiece, colour plate, various small b&w illustrations. Embellished throughout with various hand-applied rubber stamps and one blind stamp. A collection of poetry by Genesis P-Orridge (1950-2020), pioneering writer, musician, visual artist, performance artist, activist, raconteur and iconoclast. Edition limited to 500 numbered copies, this being copy number 415, SIGNED by Genesis P-Orridge above the limitation statement. The book is often described as an "artist's book" due to the amount of personalization by the artist: the placement of differing rubber stamps, etc. Somewhat basic production values. Genuinely scarce: although the limitation states 500 copies the amount of time and personal input required of the artist to complete each would make it seem unlikely that all were completed. Has been stored in plastic since original purchase. Comes with S/he Is Her/e" sticker.
