Jeffrey Vallance Presents the Richard Nixon Museum

Jeffrey Vallance Presents the Richard Nixon Museum is the story of the Nixon Museum phenomenon as told by the artist himself. After the "real" Nixon library refused to accept his donation of Nixon-inspired artwork, the notoriously irreverent Vallance opted to create his own Nixon Museum, which then traveled around the world in a variety of forms. This book features Vallance's own account of the museum's travels as well as many of his other texts associated with the museum, such as "My Life With Dick", a cheeky timeline charting Nixon's career alongside the life and work of the artist. Also included are viewer responses to the museum -- including that of First Lady Hillary Clinton -- as well as documentation of the spontaneous shrine Vallance created at Nixon's funeral, the saga of the "Ghost of Nixon" reported to haunt the Nixon Library, and accounts of the image of Nixon found mysteriously in nature -- on rocks, cliffs, and of course vegetables.Harvey, Doug is the author of 'Jeffrey Vallance Presents the Richard Nixon Museum', published 2003 under ISBN 9781889195421 and ISBN 1889195421.
