New York: Library Fellows of the Whitney Museum of American Art, 1992. Fine and housed in a purple cloth box with a vellum label on spine. Very minor fading to the box. What appears at first to be water damage to the front and back covers is actually a feature of the book's unique quality, occurring from the watercolor interacting with the vellum.. Deluxe Limited Edition. Quarto. Number 3 of 150; one of the 105 copies that were bound in full vellum and stamped in gold by Claudia Cohen, with an original watercolor painting of purple dots on the cover by Robert Therrien, and two bound etchings to accompany the text. Volume 10 in the Whitney Artist and Writers Series. SIGNED and numbered by the author and artist on the colophon page. Edited by May Castleberry, and distributed exclusively to the artists and donors of the Whitney Library Fellows. Scarce and important artist book held in several institutional collections.
