(SOLD): HOMMA, Takashi. Scandinavian Mushroom.

(Tokyo): Yusuke Nakajima and Yoshihisa Tanaka, 2015.  First edition.  Softcover.  18cm by 14cm.  Unpaginated.   The first of Homma’s photographic tribute to Ed Ruscha’s artist books created in the late 60s and early 70s. Taking reference to Ruscha’s Coloured People published in 1972, Takashi Homma’s Scandinavian Mushroom is a collection of photographs which capture a variety of wild mushrooms grown in the forests of Scandinavia. Homma’s photographs resonate aesthetically to the same white background and photographic style used in Coloured People bringing forward Homma’s own contextual narrative to the homage.  A near fine copy in printed wrappers.  Now scarce.
