Item description from seller

Black illustrated wraps, unpaginated [32], 4 fold-out pages, about 26 large color illustrations. September 23 - October 23, 2010. From the publisher: nebulas, celestial bodies and planets. These works are executed in mixed media with such materials as enamel, asphaltum, acrylic, ink, glue, epoxy resin, paper, alumichrom, and oil stick. By using contemporary Jacquard looms, Despont translated these richly detailed, highly expressive paintings into woven tapestries that seem to glow with light. Despont comments on this new body of work: ". I like to think of my orbs as floating in space, and tapestry, with its three-dimensional aspects, is a fantastic medium for them. I am fascinated by our universe filled with billions of galaxies, of stars and planets, by the idea of being drawn into space and floating away. The tapestries display this poetic notion of floating with these orbs, as the light bounces off softly. People are drawn to them. In the studio, every visitor wants to touch them. It is an emotional force; they exert their own kind of gravity.". …

Current stock occupies over 2.3 miles of shelving. We are active buyers as well as very active sellers, and supply entire reference libraries as well as individual titles. We ship books almost everywhere, with the exception of China due to restrictions. Our website mullenbooks.com maintains our entire database of over 150,000 titles dynamically, so you can submit "wants" for books which are listed, but not currently in-stock. It is a major research tool. Despite what Google may indicate, we are only open to visitors by appointment, as our schedules are dynamic depending upon the needs of our valued employees.…
