ULYSSES WRECTIFIED by Kelly, Sean. (Joyce, James). Anderson, Laurie et al (contributing artist) - 2006

Sally Knee, 2006. Limited Edition. Hardcover. As New/As New. Squarish 8vo, printed polished covers in printed dustjacket, unpaginated (32pp), illustrated in color. Scarce 2006 catalog of works by 20 artists that used copies of James Joyce's "Ulysses" to present as gifts to gallery owner Sean Kelly on his fiftieth birthday. This version limited to 100 copies, this copy number 15 and signed by Kelly on the colophon; another 400 copies, unsigned were numbered 101to 500. (Sally Knee as publisher is a play on the artists name.) Among the contributing artists are Laurie Anderson, Christine Borland, and Gavin Turk. Our favorite is Turk's with a nail through a new copy of a Modern Libary edition of Joyce's masterpiece. Sean Kelly Gallery, founded in 1991 in New York City by British-born Sean Kelly, represents established and mid-career artists, particularly with work based in installation and performance art.
