Lot description
Limited edition of 250, signed by Yuri Kuper. Published by the Limited Editions Club. Paper over boards with leather spine and foredges. Includes slipcase. The acclaimed Russian born artist, Yuri Kuper, chose Aldo Crommelynck to print his etchings on Hannemule paper in Paris. For the text the H.M.P Mill in Connecticut made the paper by hand to resemble the stock produced in 1920’s Russia, even incorporating bits of Russian newspapers with the rags and cotton pulp. The binding, designed and executed by John von Isakovics, recalls the unique paper with a spine of grey Nigerian goatskin. The lined slipcase is covered in rough grey linen.
