Primary Information’s facsimile edition of Avalanche Magazine is now available. The edition collects all 13 issues, originally published between 1970 and 1976 in one handsome box. The first eight issues are exact reproductions of the originals, while the later issues, which were published as newsprint, are collected into one volume. This edition is limited to 1000 copies.
This particular issue’s dreamy cover boy is none other than the quotable LAWRENCE WEINER, who recently released a fabulous edition on 20x200.
Tangentially related: Willoughby Sharp, one of the cofounders of the magazine, used to have a gallery at 8 Spring St., right next door from where Jen Bekman Gallery is now.
