| Item Description: | Lithograph also issued in a special signed and numbered edition of 25. "In July 2012, The Esopus Foundation closed its exhibition and performance venue Esopus Space and moved to smaller offices in Brooklyn in order to refocus its efforts on Esopus. Because this move would have taken place during the most intensive part of the production process for Esopus 19, we made the decision to postpone this issue one publishing cycle until Spring 2013. Since this change would have caused our current subscribers to wait a full year to receive the next issue of Esopus, we decided to invite a contemporary artist to create a special limited edition to act as a placeholder for Esopus 19--and also to serve as a thank-you for subscribers' patience ... We asked New York City-based artist Robert Gober if he would consider creating this special multiple from scratch ... After several months of deliberation, Gober decided to create a piece that not only fit within the custom cardboard mailer we use to mail copies of Esopus; he actually made the mailer itself a part of the work. The edition, called "Hope Hill Road," is an extraordinary object, and we feel incredibly fortunate to be able to offer it to our readers." -- Publisher's website. |
