About This Item
[n.p., Mexico City: El taller de Luis López-Loza, 1976] One of thirty copies signed and numbered by the artist. . Accordion bound in yellow paper boards titled in black and printed with an illustration of the Sarcophagus of Sennedjem. . 5 x 9 in. Ten panels, unfolding to about 50 in. Six etchings with aquatint and carborundum print accents. Letterpress printed on Arches paper. Pencil gift inscription by the author ("Para Javier Friedlander [?] con todo cariño, de Luis López"), dated January 1977, to preliminary blank. Some offsetting from etchings. A near-fine copy. The etchings capture different perspectives on the Sarcophagus of Sennedjem, which was found in the necropolis of Deir el-Medina on the West Bank at Luxor in 1886. The sarcophagus itself features scenes from the Book of the Dead. Luis López Loza's (b. 1939) designs recall bones and organs, rendered abstractly, as if the viewer were looking through the lid of the sarcophagus to the body inside.
