About the Item

SAMARAS, Lucas. Book, New York: Pace Editions, 1968. Unusual book/object of 11 color silkscreens with offset, embossing, thermography, die-cut and collage mounted on masonite. Each page measuring 10 x 10 3/16" Copy 46 of a total edition of 100. Numbered and initialled by the artist on the cover. Interesting comment on the traditional book. Samaras plays on the most sculptural books of all - chilren's pop-up books. Here the pop-ups, cut-outs, and menacing rhymes, however give a biting edge to his commentary. Book also displays the beautiful effects of color patterning for which Samaras is so well-known. Ref: Franklin Furnace, Contemporary Illusrtated Books, p. 15.
