Any fan of R. B. Kitaj (1932 - present) will be thrilled to have this rare art volume. It's the first edition that accompanied his landmark exhibition when it opened at the Tate in London on June 16, 1994. Of truly impressive size and quality, this is the catalog printed by Tate Gallery Publications. (A later version by Rizzoli was distributed to the two American museums hosting the show in 1995.) More than 200 pages in length, this is a big, hefty, colorful "coffee table" book that's richly illustrated and packed with enlightening text on the artist's career -- including a fascinating interview with Kitaj, his "prefaces" to the featured works (many of which were displayed alongside them) and an essay by his philosopher friend, Richards Wollheim. The book was edited by Richard Morphet, Keeper of the Modern Collection at the Tate from 1986 to 1998, who worked with Kitaj on the selection process and wrote the introduction. In wonderful condition, showing just a little wear to the back cover, it still has its Tate Gallery price tag (19 pounds and 95 pence, about $40 by today's reckoning). These don't come onto the market often. The only other softcover copy I found online is priced at the English equivalent of $50, plus overseas shipping, so this is very good value. We'll cover US shipping, too -- or provide an equivalent discount for international delivery. Please e-mail to confirm availability, order or request more photos. Thanks for looking! |
