Softcover artist book. 64 pages, 21.5 × 27 cm. Edition of 750. Published by Karma, New York, 2015.

Condition: Good. Light shelf wear and minor handling consistent with use.

K&H Liquors reproduces a group of handmade liquor store signs connected to Grotjahn's early interest in vernacular signage, exchange, and commercial display. Made around the same logic as his Sign Exchange works, the book sits close to the point where ordinary shop graphics, pricing language, and hand-painted communication become part of an artist's system.

Price tags, beer brands, hand-lettered numerals — the signs are reproduced at scale, one per spread, on uncoated stock. The book does not explain them. It presents them as a sequence, which is its own kind of argument.

A Karma publication from 2015. Store sign, price mark, local object, reproduced as book.

Shipping and handling included in the listed price.
