Signed Jose Parla Hong Kong Book, by jusdeep on Jul 23, 2009 7:05:24 GMT 1, $125 around £76, not sure if this is with postage or not though.
Seems a lot for a soft cover book when you compare it to the Elms edition and the previous Parla book releases.
And no information on edition size or number of signed copies.

Signed Jose Parla Hong Kong Book, by hitme on Jul 23, 2009 17:42:50 GMT 1, Botos Gallery in Hong Kong said that the maximum number to be printed of this catalogue was 1,000. They only had a handful for sale at their gallery and OHWOW only has 20 for sale...so it is safe to say that this Signed Edition is rather limited. Plus, it's Jose Parla after all. There is not much you can get from this guy unless you have tens of thousands to pay for an original. Nice looking catalogue.

I can only dream of owning a Parla at this moment in time so signed books is about all I have to live with until I'm much richer

Signed Jose Parla Hong Kong Book, by hillview on Jul 24, 2009 5:07:04 GMT 1, i have this book which i received when i attended his talk in HK back in may. for what its worth, the amount of effort he spent on personalizing each book must be far in excess of most other signed books of this nature!

Signed Jose Parla Hong Kong Book, by O.H.W.O.W. on Jul 24, 2009 17:55:59 GMT 1, The email I received said the special pre-release was for people that had previously purchased Parla's books from OHWOW - so i think they are offering previous customers first before they release it to everyone. Here is a copy of the email we got (the picture I posted in the thread are from the email);
As a previous customer of OHWOW we are offering you a special opportunity to purchase José Parlá's latest book release - Reading Through Seeing - Signed Edition. This catalogue has been published to coincide with the Reading through Seeing, New Works exhibition by José Parlá, presented by Ooi Botos Gallery in Hong Kong, from May 14, to July 11th, 2009.
We only have an extremely limited amount of copies in stock. Each book is signed by José Parlá. We are offering you, a previous customer of OHWOW and a purchaser of José Parlá's past releases the first opportunity to purchase Reading Through Seeing - Signed Edition. The book will be available to the general public through our website www.oh-wow.com on July 27, 2009. If you wish to purchase this book ahead of the general release date, please email me back with your confirmation and we will send you an invoice via paypal.
Details are as follows:
$125 price.
Softcover, 9 x 11 inches, 120 pages featuring essays by Michael Betancourt and Alexandra Chang as well as a full length interview by Rey Parlá discussing the Bizen Pottery Tradition.
Excerpt from essay by Alexandra Chang:
Through his paintings, Parlá searches for a past - one that may or many not have ever existed. He has tilted and likened his work to journals, memories, and repuzzled cityscapes from pieces and bits of newspaper and segments of posters torn from the walls of the cities he has visited. The artworks themselves, often large-scale canvases, confront the viewer like walls that have been written and rewritten upon. In his works, the writing has built and caked over, preserving in its purposeful fossil-like sedimentation and erosion something akin to the rings of a tree. And as with a history or a memory, where thoughts become blurred, reshaped, and influenced by the more recent past, so too is the reading of the artist's work.
