Martin Hyers & William Mebane “Empire” Limited Edition Portfolio
Available from the Humble Arts Foundation. Here’s the info:
Martin Hyers and William Mebane made a series of road trips through the American South and West to create an archive of American objects. The project, titled Empire, yielded more than 9000 4 x 5 in. photographs from twenty-one states that is now available as a portfolio of 100 photographs. These images represent meaningful objects in American culture.
The 5 x 6 ¼ in. portfolio consists of 100 inkjet prints printed on archival fiber-based paper. Included are installation instructions, a handmade embossed box, and a signed certificate indicating the edition number. All prints are stamped on verso.
There are 100 portfolios and two artist proofs in the edition.
