Softcover. Etat : Fine. First Edition; First Printing. Stiff unmarked book in stiff card covers; about new. English text.; 8.5 x 11"; 136 pages; A richly illustrated artist's book that serves as both an exhibition catalog and a standalone exploration of Sachs' massive installation Nutsy's. The book documents Sachs' ambitious, satirical project: a full-scale, handmade replica of a McDonald's restaurant (and broader "Nutsy's" world) constructed in his signature DIY aesthetic using plywood, foamcore, hot glue, cardboard, scavenged materials, and everyday objects. The installation critiques consumerism, globalization, corporate branding, and the corruption of modernist idealsâ"linking the utopian vision of Le Corbusier's Unità d'Habitation (a symbol of modernist housing ideals) with the commercial success and cultural dominance of McDonald's (representing the "failure" of high modernism through mass production and uniformity). Introduction/essay by Glenn O'Brien (art critic and writer) , providing context on Sachs' work and the project's themes. Contributions from John G. Hanhardt (Guggenheim curator) and Maria-Christina Villaseñor (co-curator). Tom Sachs' own commentary, sketches, notes, and handwritten explanations of the concept, materials, and satire. A detailed fold-out map/poster of the Nutsy's racetrack layout, showing the entire installation's floor plan, stations (eg McDonald's, ghetto, art park) , and the remote-control car course in a rear pocket.
