About the Item
BOURGEOIS, Louise. Homely Girl, A Life. By Arthur Miller. With 10 drypoints by Bourgeois. Two volumes. Folio, original beige half morocco over grey cloth, preserved in a grey cloth slipcase. New York: Peter Blum, 1992.
A fine copy of this highly effective example of contemporary bookmaking. The playwright Arthur Miller gave Louise Bourgeois an unpublished story for which she provided two sets of illustrations. The publisher issued both, hence the two volumes, one containing original drypoints, and the other a series of offsets from colour photographs. The publisher also issued two versions. The one most commonly encountered consisted of an edition of 1200 copies with reproductions of the etchings. The limited edition, of which this is one, illustrated with original drypoints, is extremely scarce. One of an edition of 100 copies with the colophon signed by Miller and Bourgeois.

Louise Bourgeois
Louise Joséphine Bourgeois was a French-American artist. Although she is best known for her large-scale sculpture and installation art, Bourgeois was also a prolific painter and printmaker. She explored a variety of themes throughout her long career, including domesticity and the family, sexuality and the body, as well as death and the unconscious. These themes connect to events from her childhood, which she considered to be a therapeutic process. Although Bourgeois exhibited with the Abstract Expressionists and her work has much in common with Surrealism and Feminist art, she was not formally affiliated with a particular artistic movement.

Piramidi
By Sol LeWitt
Located in New York, NY
LEWITT, Sol. Piramidi. 10 lithographs, each 222 × 680 mm, in publisher's cardboard box, preserved in a new cloth folding box. Turin: Marco Noire Editore, 1986.
This stunning set of lithographs recall the splendid wall drawings of pyramids that the artist conceived of between 1985 and 1994. These consisted of floor to ceiling pyramids constructed of multiple facets, set against uniform backgrounds. Each work was drawn directly on the walls in successive layers of delicate ink washes, alternating in yellow, red, blue and gray. It is no accident that the results recall Renaissance frescoes since LeWitt first developed this technique after moving from New York to Spoleto, Italy in 1980. Unlke the wall drawings, many of which no longer exist, this set of lithographs bears lasting testimony to Lewitt's genius.
An immaculate copy in its original cardboard box. One of an edition of 400 copies, signed by Lewitt.

Brutus Killed Caesar.
By John Baldessari
Located in New York, NY
BALDESSARI, John. Brutus Killed Caesar. [4] pp. Illustrated with 33 photographic tryptichs. Oblong 8vo., 100 x 275 mm, bound in publisher's spiral-bound wrappers. Preserved in tan cloth box. Akron: The Emily H. Davis Art Gallery of The University of Akron, [1976]. $ 2500.00
First Edition. Printed in a limited edition. The artist John Baldessari juxtaposes three images in a triptych format. Each page repeats the use of the same two portraits: an young man on the left and and an older man on the right. The center image then creates the crucial dialogue between the other two - Baldessari makes use of a variety of objects that could all be used as murder weapons - some a bit more mundane than others: a kitchen knife...
