Synopsis:
A fantastic, strange, and mysterious world, real and imagined, is featured in Awake in the Dream World, a mid-career retrospective of artist and bestselling author Audrey Niffenegger. Book art, works on paper and paintings reflect her captivating narrative talent and her confrontations with life, mortality and magic. Niffenegger's artist's books are presented in depth - including aquatints, lithographs and letterpress prints that illustrate surreal characters in murky and romantic settings.
About the Author: Audrey Niffenegger is a visual artist and writer who lives mostly in Chicago and occasionally in London. She has published six books, including the novels The Time Traveler's Wife and Her Fearful Symmetry. She helped to found the Columbia College Chicago Center for Book and Paper Arts. Her art has been exhibited by Printworks Gallery in Chicago since 1986. She is a Professor in the Fiction Department of Columbia College. Her current projects include her third novel, The Chinchilla Girl in Exile, and a ballet, Raven Girl, in collaboration with Wayne McGregor for the Royal Opera House Ballet. Krystyna Wasserman is currently Curator of Book Arts at the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) in Washington, D.C.

She has curated more than thirty exhibitions of artists' books, sketchbooks, and illustrations, including The Book as Art: Twenty Years of Artists' Books from the National Museum of Women in the Arts (2006). Wasserman is a member of NMWA's Library Fellows, a program she developed to support the creation of artists' books.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 120 pages. Published in 2013. Retrospective monograph on subject. One of the most important art events of our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. A brilliant production by Audrey Niffenegger and Daniel Power: Oversize-volume format. Pictorial hard boards, which feature a self-portrait, with green cloth overboards and titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Art by Audrey Niffenegger. Essays by Krystyna Wasserman and Mark Pascale. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Published on the occasion of the landmark exhibition of the same name held at the National Museum of Women In The Arts Washington, DC from June 21 through November 10, 2013. Presents Audrey Niffenegger's "Awake In The Dream World". The art and achievement of Audrey Niffenegger in mid-career. "Otherworldly, provocative, and strange, 'Awake In The Dream World' channels the looming, historical grim-ness of the classic fairy tale, illuminating the dichotomy between the real and imagined through the context of fantasy, and bringing to life a macabre ensemble of folkloric characters. Reflecting her talent for cultivating a captivating narrative exclusively through pictures and her own confrontations with life, mortality, and magic, Niffenegger's fantastical body of work is reminiscent of renowned pen-and-ink predecessors such as Edward Gorey, Aubrey Beardsley, Egon Schiele, Edward Dulac, and Horst Janssen, but with a brutally honest and unapologetically strange female perspective that touches upon the universal trials of life: Death and decay, love, jealousy, redemption, and the inevitability of change. Her works on paper, lithographs, and aquatints reflect the often surreal narratives of her Artist Books. Probing darker corners of the human heart and mind, often exploring the hopeless struggle with what Shakespeare called 'this bloody tyrant, Time' " (Publisher's blurb). In the meantime, here is the illuminating introduction to the artist/writer who gave us "The Time Traveler's Wife" and other contemporary classics. An absolute "must-have" title for Audrey Niffenegger collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed, placed, and dated (on the day of publication) in black pen-marker on the title page by the artist/author: "Audrey Niffenegger May 14, 2013, Chicago". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. Laid-in is the "Raven Girl: New Etchings" Exhibition Card. This title is a contemporary classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed, placed, and publication-day dated copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws or are subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. 240 color plates. One of the finest American artist/writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER AUDREY NIFFENEGGER TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 157687639X. Signed by Author. Seller Inventory # 18030
