17 Monotypes.

Beschreibung

New York; ULAE, 1982. First edition. 32,5x25 cm. (35, 21 blanks) pp. + 18 plates. Publisher's cloth with printed dustjacket. The jacket is slightly chipped, otherwise fine. The book accompanied the exhibition "Savarin Monotypes" at Whitney Museum of American Art 1982-83. With an essay by Judith Goldman. "Because of a discrepance in the brightness of the paper, a group of proofs was withheld from the edition of Jasper Johns' lithograph Savarin (1977-81). Thinking to use these proofs as substructures for a series of monotypes, Johns began painting with colored inks on sheets of plexiglass. A lithograph, or, in some instances, blank paper was laid over the freshly painted surface, then covered with a felt blanket and run through a hand lithographic press. By modulating the applied pressure, it was often possible to transfer several slightly varying proofs from one painting." (preface). From the library of Anders Tornberg Gallery in Lund, Sweden, and with a stamp confirming this on the last blank page.
