Strange, outdated laws from each of the 50 U.S. states—some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.
