humble arts foundation | martin hyers & william mebane limited edition portfolio

Humble Arts has a limited edition portfolio from Martin Hyers and William Mebane titled Empire.

Publishers Description:

From 2004 – 2007 Martin Hyers and William Mebane made a series of road trips through the American South and West to create an archive of American objects. The project, titled Empire, yielded more than 9000 4 x 5 in. photographs from twenty-one states that is now available as a portfolio of 100 photographs. These images represent meaningful objects in American culture.

Due to the volume of photographs included in the portfolio, collectors are encouraged to play with the many installation possibilities, such as treating the box set as a photo album, flipping through it at whim, creating various mini-exhibitions, or sending individual photographs to friends. Instructions on how to install the complete portfolio in grid formation are available for collectors who wish to maintain the vision of Hyers and Mebane.

The 5 x 6 ¼ in. portfolio consists of 100 inkjet prints printed on archival fiber-based paper. Included are installation instructions, a handmade embossed box, and a signed certificate indicating the edition number. All prints are stamped on verso.

There are 100 portfolios and two artist proofs in the edition.
