Ostrich over Velvet Boards. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. First Edition 1/100 Deluxe. np (32pp), 26 color illustrations. "The Loves of the Poets", featuring Joseph Mills' beautifully raw, disturbingly seductive collages, is a work of art unto itself. This gorgeous artist's book published in 2002 by Nazraeli Press, Hemphill Fine Arts, and Joy of Giving Something features twenty-six collages that seem to be on the verge of complete revelation but time and again leave the viewer on a suspended note. The success of these images, in the words of photographic historian and curator Anne Tucker, "lies in the fact that they are anchored in reality just enough so that we are on the edge between surreality and reality." Beautifully reproduced with antique paper backgrounds and a rich double varnish, "The Loves of the Poets" brings the marriage of artist and book to a new level". A brand new, pristine example from the deluxe edition limited to one hundred copies with full gilt edges and gilt-stamped green velvet covers NUMBERED AND SIGNED "Joseph Mills" in black ink on the rear colophon accompanied by a SIGNED AND NUMBERED PHOTOGRAPH laid down on a printed cardstock sheet both housed in the publisher's debossed black velvet clamshell box. Signed by the Photographer. Photography Monograph.
