Louise Bourgeois
Homely Girl, A Life. By Arthur Miller.

1992

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 The playwright Arthur Miller gave Louise Bourgeois an unpublished story for which she provided two sets of illustrations.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.

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...
