The Ricky Jay Collection Part III

JAY, Ricky (1946 – 2018). The Magic Magic Book. [Proof Copy]. [New York]: Library Fellows of the Whitney Museum of American Art, 1994. Two volumes, the first an illustrated history of the blow book by Ricky Jay, and the second a functional blow book (in which the images on the pages change when the book is flipped through), incorporating images from Vija Celmins, Jane Hammond, Glenn Ligon, Justen Ladda, Philip Taaffe, and William Wegman. The former volume SIGNED or INITIALED by the artists; the blow book the only example we have traced bound in plain textured grey wraps, being a proof copy presented to Ricky Jay prior to the publication of the work.
