About the Item
KUPER, Yuri. My Sister--Life. By Boris Pasternak. Illustrated with 6 etchings by Kuper. Translated by Mark Rudman. Large folio, bound in quarter grey morocco over hand-made paper boards, in slipcase. New York: The Limited Editions Club, 1991.
Limited Edition of 250 copies, although according to the Publisher, fewer than 200 copies were actually printed. Signed on the colophon by Kuper. Printed at the Wild Carrot Letterpress on handmade paper containing scraps of Russian newspaper clippings.
"…Kuper has exhibited at galleries in Europe and the US, and his work is part of the permanent collections of MOMA, Moscow Museum of Fine Arts and Fonds National d'Art Contemporain in Paris… Kuper's work recalls the Russian Constructivists' radical, dynamic, geometric abstractions in his use of strong diagonals and primarily geometric forms. This is evident in his images for "My Sister - Life" where we find a cluster of matches scattered randomly from their box, a cup and saucer with its spoon resting partially on the table, or a pen cutting boldly across the pictorial space. An immaculate copy of the book, with a small stain on the slipcase.

Yuri Kuper
YURI KUPER Born 1940, Moscow, Russia; lives in France and New York City Yuri Kuper’s work is steeped in time, memory, and silence. Born in Russia in 1940, Kuper received thorough training in beaux-arts drawing and painting at the Moscow Art Academy. After leaving Russia for Israel in 1972, he moved to London in the same year and later settled in France. Today, Kuper splits time between his country home in Normandy and a second studio in New York City. Kuper paints old objects, typically found covered in dust in the corners of pantries, attics, and flea markets or discarded on the streets, with a sense of reverence, calling the viewer to examine their aesthetic qualities and discern between his artistic interventions and the markings of time, nature, and use. Drawing from a limited collection of iconography, including spoons, saws, and paint brushes, he works with worn-out objects in various fashions, such as rendering them through painting and mixed media, attaching them directly onto a surface, or modifying the objects themselves. Yuri Kuper’s work appears in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the Staaliche Museen Preusshicher Kulturbesitz, Berlin, and The Achenbach Foundation at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, among others. In 2020, his solo exhibition was on view at the Accademia delle Arti del Disegno in Florence, Italy.
