Add to basketWith 26 linocuts in black and white. Copy XIV of XX special copies with an additional 70 ordinary copies, bound in quarter white leather over white paper boards by Craig Jensen at Book Lab II, with black linocut on upper board, and with an additional suite of prints housed in a black cloth portfolio, all within a matching black…cloth clamshell box. Signed by the printer on the colophon. Fine. [New York], Russell Maret. 'Last autumn I found myself daydreaming about lines. There was no color involved in my fantasies, all of my dreamed lines were black and white. Specifically I was thinking about letterforms composed of intersecting horizontal and vertical lines.' The resulting letterforms represented by the 26 linocuts in the finished work 'are not intended to be immediately recognizable as the A, B, Cs we commonly use, but as forms and shapes that evoke the twenty-six Roman capitals. They are meant to be A, B, Cs that can also be something else entirely.'.
