The Machine, by K. G. Pontus Hulten – 1968 – Vintage Metal Book MOMA Exhibition

This is “The Machine as Seen at the End of the Mechanical Age” exhibition catalogue from The Museum of Modern Art, published in 1968. It is known for its unique binding, featuring stamped metal covers held together by riveted aluminum sheeting. The catalogue was curated by K.G. Pontus Hultén to explore the relationship between art and technology. This copy is in very nice condition and of course it has a little bit of wear on it because it’s metal from 1968!

Pages appear to be free of any writing or highlighting as I flipped through the book. Slight tanning to pages from age, discoloration spots to paper, mostly to the first few pages. Dust jacket shows wear with scuffing/rubbing, tears, creases, and wear to the corners and edges, and has been cleaned.
