(Buren, Netherlands): Frits Knuf, 1989. Frigge, Karli. Tall quarto. (15)pp., (6)ff. One of 55 copies, signed by Frigge. With a foreword by the artist in both Dutch and English. These six marbled papers were made by Frigge in 1979 with paints contaminated with dead mayflies. The structure of the paint was so changed that when it was put on the marbling paper the effect was of lichen and mosses. Although the process sounds unpalatable, the results are delectable. Fine in vellum-backed marbled boards, with original glassine.
