Purloined : A Novel

description

Artist's book by Joseph Kosuth. The word "Purloined" in the title points not only to the content, but also to the way this novella came about. To construct this book Kosuth took 48 facsimile pages from 48 different books and recompiled them to form a new composite and a new coherent story.
