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 word 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.

Lost Manuscript,
By Lance Washington "The Nixon Museum" (Reseda, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jeffrey Vallance Presents the Richard Nixon Museum (Paperback)
This is funny because this book was never published. The manuscript was lost. But somehow it ended up on the Nixon Library online biographies as one of the best books written on Richard Nixon although it never existed.

Listed on The Richard Nixon Library and Birthplace Online Research Bibliographies under President Nixon Selective Bibliography; lost unpublished book manuscript, 2000.
