Numbers

1968. INDIANA, Robert. Numbers. Containing 10 screenprints by Robert Indiana. By Robert Creeley. Illustrated with 10 screenprints. Large Folio, bound in original tan printed wrappers. Stuttgart und Duesseldorf, Edition Domberger, 1968. The extremely rare large folio edition, which is not to be confused with the more commonly found 4to edition. One of 250 copies signed by Indiana and Creeley. The text is both in English and German and accompanies the 10 celebrated color screenprints by Indiana. Indiana's bold series of numbers, spanning from one to nine and zero are simultaneously enriched and mellowed by the hand-made neutrality of Creeley's accompanying verses printed in black (English) and red (German) on thick brown paper. Complete sets of the large prints are now rare. In immaculate condition. Sheehan, Robert Indiana Prints 56. Castleman, A Century of Artists Books 211.
