Item description from seller

ILSE D'HOLLANDER - UNTITLED - ART MONOGRAPH. Produced in conjunction with the exhibition "Untitled" that took place at the Museum Louvain, Belgium from June 27 through October 20, 2013. Published by The Estate of Ilse D'Hollander and Hannibal Publishing, Belgium, 2013. First Edition. Large format hardcover book, paper covered boards illustrated with one of her artworks, no dustjacket as issued, 9x11 inches, 256 pages. Illustrated with over 100 of her artworks printed on heavy-stock paper, each is printed on its own page, almost all are printed on one side only, all are "Untitled". VERY GOOD condition, a bit of wear to the spine ends and corner tips, and a small bump to the bottom edge, overall tight, bright, clean, clear and unmarked - looks and feels just barely used. A very presentable copy. A beautifully printed monograph on the amazing work of Ilse d'Hollander, who committed suicide at 28. She died a completely unknown artist. About Ilse d'Hollander (from Wikipedia): *******Ilse D'Hollander, b.1968 d.1997, was a Belgian visual artist, creating paintings and drawings. She died in 1997 at the age of 28 by suicide. She died an unknown artist, but about 15 years after her death she gained international fame. During the last few years of her life Ilse D'Hollander lived in a farmhouse in Belgium where she created a large number of artworks. None were exhibited, but fortunately none were thrown away. After her death, Ric Urmel acquired all the works found in the farmhouse from Ilse's legal heirs and placed them in a foundation called "The Estate of Ilse D'Hollander" with the aim of bringing the work to public attention. The Estate contained approximately 400 paintings on canvas, 1,700 works on paper, most of them small-scale, and a notebook in which she provided commentary on her art. Most of her works were not dated or signed, and were untitled. Ilse's work was shown by the Estate to a limited number of art connoisseurs. As a result, a few years later her works were displayed in several group and solo exhibitions in Belgium. At one of these shows Ilse's work was noticed by the owner of the internationally renowned Konrad Fischer Gallery, who organized a solo exhibition at their gallery in Düsseldorf in 2013. Then in 2014, Ilse D'Hollander's works on paper were presented (and immediately sold out) at a major group exhibition at the David Zwirner Gallery in New York and at a solo exhibition at the Konrad Fischer Galerie in Berlin. In 2015 Konrad Fischer exhibited her works at his booth at Art Basel, where British-American gallery owner Sean Kelly encountered them and immediately featured Ilse D'Hollander in a solo exhibition at the Sean Kelly Gallery in New York and later in Los Angeles. In London, the Victoria Miro Gallery began regularly exhibiting her works after Oliver Miro discovered them. The Victoria Miro Gallery, the Sean Kelly Gallery, and Gallery Sofie Van de Velde now represent the work of Ilse D'Hollander.******.
