DESCRIPTION:
|
This etching is part of a portfolio entitled "El lugar, los instrumentos" done by
Szyszlo in 1991. They were printed and published by Arte Dos Grafico de Bogota, Colombia.
They are accompanied by the text by Georges Bataille and Marcel Mauss. The text pages are
full size, and each page of text is printed on Fabriano paper, and done by hand, and each
page of text (seven total) is accompanied by an unsigned, embossed etching, in addition to the
signed and numbered etching shown here. The etchings are printed on Arches paper, and are
in pristine condition, are signed in white pencil, and numbered 43/99, in white pencil. Each
has the blind stamp of the publisher. The condition is remarkable, and each etching is done
with deep, rich colors, and convey the mysterious, mystical, magical power of all great
work by this Latin Master. This portfolio is complete, and in addition to a gorgeous red
slipcover, with Szyszlo's name signed on the front, there are additional pages of poetry, totaling
about 10 pages.
This portfolio is very rare. This is the first time this gallery has seen one on the market. It is
available complete, or we may consider splitting it up, if a collector was interested in two or
more images from the portfolio. We will include a new monograph by Poligrafa, in Barcelona,
with the purchase of this exquisite portfolio. It is the best book on Szyszlo's work currently
available.
