Signed Pair of Ori Hofmekler Illustrated Books
Item Details
A pair of books by satiric artist Ori Hofmekler. Hofmekler’s work has been featured in many publications, but is perhaps most well known for his monthly columns in Penthouse magazine from 1998-2000. In more recent history, Hofmekler is credited for creating the popular Warrior Diet, introduced in his publication titled Mind and Muscle Power. This pairing includes the titles Hofmekler’s People published by Holt, Rinehart and Winston in 1982 and Hofmekler’s Gallery published in 1987 by Times Books. Hofmekler’s Gallery features a signature on the acknowledgments page, which is made out to Penthouse founder and publisher Bob Guccione; reading ‘To Bob, the best publisher. Love, Ori Hofmekler.’ Both books feature satirical illustrations of politicians and pop culture figures of the time. These items come the personal collection of Penthouse and Omni magazine publisher Bob Guccione.
