Buy new: $253.12 / Used from: $175.00 The 1st volume of the Warhol paintings/sculptures CR.
An Andy Warhol CR is a great example of the idea ... having all of that work (in many volumes eventually) in one place, being able to see EVERY SINGLE painting he ever made in order... amazing.

Buy new: $39.24 / Used from: $14.91 The first volume of the Warhol films CR. I think there will be only 2 volumes in all. This one concentrates on the early Screen Tests.

|
 | The Complete Works of Daido Moriyama: 4 Volumes (1964-2003) by Daido Moriyama
A strange and wonderful set of books for the great Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama. Almost works better as a piece of art itself - Daido shoots so much that these books are stuffed with tiny reproductions. (probably a hundred thousand)
|
 | Pierre Et Gilles: The Complete Works
Buy used from: $70.00 The 'complete works' of this great fantasy-erotic photography duo. Not a technical CR, but close.
|
 | Mapplethorpe by Robert Mapplethorpe
Buy new: $91.25 / Used from: $45.99 The Robert Mapplethorpe CR - not technically, though widely referred to as such. However it's missing so many pieces that it's hard to really call it a catalogue raisonne.
|
| Marcel Duchamp: The Box in a Valise by Ecke Bonk
Buy used from: $119.00 I LOVE THIS BOOK! If you have any interest in Marcel Duchamp (you should!), BUY THIS. It is a CR for his 'Museum in a box' - a brilliant set of editions of 69 reproductions of his work, miniaturized and placed inside a folding box. This book is VERY detailed and shows the awesome ORIGINALS which were included with the first 1-30 sets of the special edition. A++
|
 | The Complete Works of Marcel Duchamp (2 Volumes in 1) by Arturo Schwarz
Buy used from: $289.00 This is the combined paperback version of the 4th revised Duchamp CR by Arturo Schwartz. Last week I was able to look through it, and I have to say it has really thin paper and a tendency to break its own binding. Cheaper, but not good.
|

Buy used from: $119.98 The first Warhol CR, a famous book by Rainer Crone.
|
| Francis Bacon: 2 by Rothenstein
The excellent but early Bacon CR. Rare and expensive.

| Gerhard Richter; Catalogue Raisonne, 1962-1993 by Gerhard Richter
Buy used from: $602.32 A wonderful 4 volume slipcased book that is only a few years and yet is 20x the price it was published at. Richter's work lends itself well to this kind of format (he keeps his own reference numbers).
|
 | Gerhard Richter Catalogue Raisonne 1993-2004 by Gerhard Richter
Buy new: $59.04 / Used from: $43.85 A book that picks up from where the last few volumes let off - the Richter CR from the last 11 years. (well, until 2004)

|
| Jeff Koons Handbook by Jeff Koons

|
