It also delivers much new detail, including photography of the installation, a fully illustrated list of the 110 works (including cabinet objects), and a finalized patrons list along with a selection of visitors’ comments.

A special feature of the design of this book, using the original Exhibition’s sequence of marvelous AOS self-portraits, and are recreated across a special fold-out double-sided dust wrapper.
