Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. South Yarra, Macmillan Art Publishing, 2005 [first edition, second impression?]. Folio, 264 pages with over 430 colour illustrations. Silver-decorated papered boards; a fine copy with the fine dustwrapper (with an illustration in shades of cream and brown on a light brown background). This important catalogue raisonne, limited to 1500 copies, was compiled in consultation with John Olsen and Jeffrey Makin. Comparison with a copy in a variant dustwrapper (colour-pictorial, on a blue background) indicates this version is printed on superior paper stock, making the volume noticeably thicker. It presents as a much more appealing book, and was probably produced after the other version: why would any publisher go from good to bad? For the record, the only other distinguishing feature we could find is in the ISBNs (this item is 1876832932, the other is 1876832231).…
