About This Item
[Amsterdam: Da Costa Editions, October 1982].. Nine panel leporello, bound into. quarto (33 x 25 cm) cloth and boards portfolio with pictorial onlay and ribbon ties. Near fine. First edition. Copy #1 of twenty numbered copies, signed by the artist. Apart from the justification statement, a dark, functionally textless artist's book, featuring ghostly serigraphed images rendered doubly obscure by their appearance in the context of a long cascade of thin rectangular shapes blurred to the extent that they present a repetitive pattern almost like the appearance of laid bricks, all in somber blacks and grays. In an interview, the artist asserted that this work was a product of his mindset after his divorce.
