Author: Busch, Heather [and] Silver, Burton.
Publisher: London: Weidenfled & Nicolson. Berkeley: Ten Speed Press.
Format: Pair of softcover quartos with illustrated boards, 96pp each, 28 x 24cm.
“The ethics of feline aesthetics” and “A theory of feline aesthetics”.
This bizarre pair of books were published under the auspices of being registered international experiments in “morphic resonance and is designed to test the hypothesis of formative causation.”
While presented as a serious and emerging art form with roots in South-East Asia, the books are a humorous parody of both art books and cat books.
Bumping, general shelfwear.
