More from Gallery 360. The one on the left, "Nissan Puck in Music" by Akira Uno was made for TBS radio in '69. Amazing psychadelic coroporate ads beyond Peter Max!

"Franticham's Fluxus Island", a fluxus box by Redfoxpress with rubber stamps, games, and other ultra random fluxus ephemera.
A limited edition book produced by D.A.P, "On The Road" by Ed Ruscha, who paired photos he took, commisioned, or found, that closely mirror the impressions found within Jack Kerouac's novel.

A great book of photos by Neville and Gavin Watson of the year Acid House exploded onto the scene, complete with anecdotes from the authors as well as superb documentation of the era's amazingly antic fashion choices.

Finished products.
"Sorry" from Canadian publisher Halifax Ink features the best public appologies of the past year, alongside close up photos of the mouths who said them.

The host of New York Post "We're Screwed" issues collected by Printed Matter.

An exhibit of Richard Prince's rare posters and books.
Prints from Haim Steinbach's latest limited edition book, "Object", which features portraits of objects chosen by Steinbach, sandwhiched together with a hole punched through each center.

The NY Art Book Fair at PS1: A Feast for the Eyes that Left us Full
by Daria Radlinski
New York's Art Book Fair took on massive proportions when it moved to PS1 this past weekend. Over 200 vendors took over the space to show everything from DIY projects to rare books along side sets by the likes of DJ/artists Tim Lokiec and Gary Murphy, a curated exhibit by AA Bronson, a keynote session by Hans Haacke, and a classroom visit by Bruce High Quality Foundation, just to name a few. The event ran for three days, and it would basically take that long to get through all of it. Here's a look at some of the things that caught our eyes on our visit.
