VAN LEER, Louise. Fifteen Pornography Companies.

(Los Angeles):California Institute of the Arts, 2006. First edition. Small 8vo. Paying homage to Ed Ruscha’s seminal publication 26 Gas Stations, this book catalogs the banal strip mall offices of porn companies located in Los Angeles. Equally dull company names like “New Jersey Films” and “Vivid Entertainment” accompany the photographs of the nondescript, sun baked single-storied buildings. An occasional reference to sin or midnight hints at the adult behavior being packaged behind drawn vertical blinds. A good copy in glossy wrappers, one page pulling loose.
