Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION. Mueller's scarce first book, featuring pseudonymized photos of her friends in "before and after" portraits — with the "before" pictures featuring dots drawn on to the subjects, jokingly mimicking pimples — accompanied by strange, miracle-cure home remedies for acne. "These images of a 1980s New York creative class, drawn-on and dot-less, alongside Mueller's surreal takes on wellness, suggest a dearth of cures for the maladies ailing this milieu: AIDS, for one. In the five years following How to Get Rid of Pimples's publication, Mueller, her husband, Vittorio Scarpati, and contributing photographer Peter Hujar would all die from complications related to the virus" (Natasha Stagg). A writer, actress, and micro-celebrity of the downtown New York scene, Mueller led a freewheeling life of intensity, refusal, and large doses. Her life and work intersected with John Waters, Nan Goldin, Peter Hujar, Gary Indiana, David Wojnarowicz, among numerous others known and countless forgotten. She died due to AIDS-related illness at only 40 years old. A nice copy of this rare work by the indelible Dreamlander, writer, and downtown figure, and a relic of 1980s New York. PROVENANCE: From the personal collection of Ira Silverberg.

Condición: Near Fine. First edition. First edition, first printing. 77, [3] pp. In publisher's perfect bound orange printed wraps. Near Fine with fading to spine, light rubbing to rear joint and edges. The actress's sole work of fiction, published by Top Stories, an offbeat prose periodical founded by artist Anne Turyn that spotlighted experimental literature written primarily by women. A rather scarce issue, this being a collection of surreal anecdotes and camp short stories of people who are healed by Mueller's supernatural acne cures. Accompanied by stark, black-and-white doctored photographs by David Armstrong, Nan Goldin, and Peter Hujar. Cookie starred in many of John Waters' early films including Pink Flamingos, Multiple Maniacs, Female Trouble and Desperate Living before passing away from AIDS in 1989.…
