La Mamelle was a San Francisco-based art periodical published by Contemporary Arts Press and edited by Carl Loeffler. Founded in 1975, La Mamelle produced twelve issues before folding in 1978. Each issue varied in size and page count, featuring reviews, interviews, critiques, photographs, and reportage documenting the vibrant San Francisco art scene of the mid-1970s. Wasted Books will bring together all twelve issues in a single collected volume.
