The Art of Romare Bearden: The Prevalence of Ritual

New York: Harry N. Abrams, 1972. Cloth. Very Good +/Near Fine. SIGNED BY ROMARE BEARDEN on the first blank endpaper. A very solid copy to boot of the 1972 1st edition of this major Abrams monograph on the artist. Tight and VG+ (very light foxing to the preliminaries) in a crisp, Near Fine dustjacket. Folio, "91 illustrations, including 46 in full color". Though not indicated anywhere in or on the book, this copy came form the personal library of Dore Ashton, one of the pre-eminent post-War New York art critics.
