[1970s] Stolen. By Kathe Gregory, Marilyn Landis, Russell F. Lewis, David Crane, Scott R. Kahn New York, Dwan Gallery / Multiples, Inc. / Colorcraft Lithographers, 1970. Artists’ book with an introduction by Lawrence Alloway. Softcover, 28 x 21.5 cm. Features documentation of the theft of a painting from an exhibition at Dawn Gallery. Five art students removed the painting ‘Untitled (Stolen), 1969’ by Shusaku Arakawa, a performative response to Arakawa’s directive stencilled unto the work stating 'If possible steal any one of these drawings including this sentence'. The action raised questions of ownership and artistic agency, the painting was eventually ‘donated’ by the thieves-artists to the Wadsworth Museum in Hartford, Connecticut. Moderate age wear to covers, dog-eared. Rare.
