exceptional condition retrospective volume of the photography of J.P. Witkin, with an introduction by Eugene Parry. All works in THE BONE HOUSE were selected by, and many have written contributions from the artist himself.
Only on the outside are any imperfections found. Please see the pics to notice, if possible, the light fading of the outer of the case and spine of the volume. The book's case binding, boards and pages are like just-arrived. All edges of the slipcase are sharp, clean, and unabraded.
It is unfair to the brand-new viewer to attempt to describe Witkin's body of work surveyed here. assorted will be startled. Stimulated. Mystified. Repulsed. In death, we are moved. The grotesque and the sublime are chased, and between the pages, one might find Nietzsche's abyss.
