About This Item
Appears to be a later printing of the first edition. Both the ex-library book and the unclipped dj would be in 'like new' condition except for the following: There is a stamped library name and address near the bottom of the first title page, "discarded item" stamped near the bottom of the last endpaper, what appears to be a catalogue number sticker attached to the bottom of the dj spine and an inventory sticker or publishers sticker attached near the top of the back cover dj. The dj is encased in a transparent a plasti-kleer cover that shows some scruffing on the back (on the plasti-kleer cover not the dj). Unfortunately the mylar jacket has been taped on the book at four points: at the top and bottom of the front and back dj flaps. There are no other indications of it's library affiliations. Otherwise, the book and dj are like new. at its time of publication this book was one of the largest surveys available of contemporary African art. Many of the artists highlighted are still well-known today. Some are not. It includes extensive photos in b&w and some in color, of the works of about 150 painters, sculptors, fiber artists, printmakers, and filmmakers of sub -Saharan Africa. A very handsome reference and display book. Includes an extensive bibliography.
