First edition of this extraordinary book, which celebrates his groundbreaking career of this visionary and cultural icon. Quarto, original blue boards, illustrated throughout. Boldly signed by Jay-Z on the title page in silver marker. In fine condition.
This work commemorates and immortalizes the immersive installation, showcasing in one place the thousands of archived objects from every facet of JAY- Z’s professional life―including original recording masters, stage wear, interviews, videos, awards, and unseen photographs. Readers will find it all, from the guitar JAY-Z played at Glastonbury Festival (the first rapper to grace that rock-and-roll stage) to Daniel Arsham’s sculpture “HOV Hands,” (the iconic gesture, made famous by JAY-Z and seen at his concerts across the globe), to his Rock & Roll Hall of Fame award (JAY-Z is the first solo hip hop artist inducted) to hundreds of paper planes (created schoolchildren across NYC wrote their dreams inside). With eight chapters (each title drawn from JAY-Z’s lyrics), The Book Of HOV details the pillars of Shawn Carter’s influence, from his artistry and craft to his entrepreneurship and activism. In addition to the book’s nearly 700 images, the tome includes in-depth essays on each chapter’s theme, contextualizing the icon’s achievements and impact on culture.
