New York: Gagosian; Rizzoli, 2014. First edition. Generally a clean copy. 11.5 x 13.5 inches. 108 pages. Profusely illustrated in color. Original pictorial cloth. Published on the occasion of the exhibition held at Gagosian Gallery in 2014. "Oxyrhynchus is a city in upper Egypt that was established in 332 BC and is considered one of the most important archaeological sites ever discovered. Saville references the layer upon layer of discoveries at Oxyrhynchus in her new body of work, the final effect being a mysterious narrative of layered bodies and images. The dozen new works presented are a combination of oil, charcoal, and pastel on canvas and a combination of landscape and figures weaving throughout each other" (the publisher).
