I Fought the Law

Zusatztext "Did you know that in Alabama, it’s illegal to carry an ice-cream cone in your back pocket? Or that in Hawaii, you can be arrested for putting a coin in your ear? And that in Kentucky, it’s illegal to lick a toad? Olivia Locher explores where these strange laws come from in her tongue-in-cheek book I Fought The Law. It’s illustrated with gorgeous photos — breaking the law has never looked so good." Daily Mail Informationen zum Autor Olivia Locher is a New York City-based fine art photographer. Kenneth Goldsmith is a poet living in New York City. Eric Shiner is senior vice president of Sotheby's fine art division. Klappentext Playfully irreverent photos reveal the strangest laws from each of the 50 states. Zusammenfassung Strange, outdated laws from each of the 50 U.S. states—some overturned, some still on the books, and some merely the stuff of legends—are depicted with sly wit by Olivia Locher. Incisive, ironic, and gorgeous, these images will appeal to art buffs and trivia fans alike. A foreword from American poet Kenneth Goldsmith and an interview with the artist by Eric Shiner, former director of the Andy Warhol Museum, contextualize rising-star Locher's photography. From serving wine in teacups in Kansas to licking a toad in Kentucky or perming a child's hair in Nebraska, breaking the law has never looked so good.
