Sex in Israel
Judith Margolis
1995
A signed and numbered limited-edition (30), with text by David Margolis z"l.
Xerox printed on 100% cotton bond paper. The five, full-color illustrations are “tipped in” in the manner of old-fashioned art books. The cover is clear acetate and duct tape. A modern-day love triangle in which, by the way, there is no sex. The cover illustration includes a collaged fragment of a candy wrapper that reads “Dip the Swizzels Lolly in the Fizzy Powder.” which seems, obviously, to describe Sex, right?
