About the Item

Robert Indiana Robert Indiana (Monograph hand signed & inscribed), 2006 Hardback book Hand signed, dated and inscribed by artist on title page, with a star drawing. 13 1/4 × 11 1/4 × 1 1/4 inches Unframed This large, magnificent, lavishly illustrated hardback monograph with dust jacket is a survey of Robert Indiana's work. The monograph is not limited edition, but it IS uniquely signed with a drawing. The artist has written a gorgeous inscription on the title page with a star drawing in marker on the top, and text underneath that reads: "The Star of Hope/Vinalhaven/1 March 2005/For Eric/Many thanks/Robert Indiana" in the artist's inimitable signature. The text of this book is by John Wilmerding, Joachim Pissarro, Robert Pincus-Witten and Simon Salama-Caro. This book contains 302 pages and is in very good condition. A comprehensive monograph on the work of an enduring icon of contemporary art. Compiled in close collaboration with three leading art historians examining the various periods of his life and oeuvre. Makes a terrific gift. Highly collectible and especially uncommon when hand signed and inscribed with a star drawing as is the present book. "Star of Hope" in Vinalhaven, Maine, of course was the artist's residence for the rest of his life after he left the New York art scene. Makes a terrific gift!

  • One Thousand Drawings By Tracey Emin (Hand signed and inscribed book for Nadine)
    By Tracey Emin
    Located in New York, NY
    Tracey Emin One Thousand Drawings By Tracey Emin (Hand signed and inscribed for Nadine), 2009 Hardback monograph with dust jacket (ink signed and inscribed by Tracey Emin) Hand signed, dated and inscribed to Nadine by Tracey Emin 7 × 10 × 2 1/2 inches This is the First Edition of the hardback monograph with dust jacket "One Thousand Drawings" by Tracey Emin - featuring reproductions of 1000 of her drawings. It was hand signed, dated and inscribed in ink to the current owner - our gallery director - at the 2011 Marc Jacobs pop up bookstore in Manhattan. (see attached article for details) Inscription reads: For Nadine Love Tracey Emin 2011 NY X Publisher's Blurb: Tracey Emin has stirred controversy as well as acclaim since she rose to fame as the most highly publicized of the infamous Young British Artists. Though denounced by conservative critics at the outset, Emin’s work has attracted serious critical attention since the early 1990s for being consistently engaging, original, and startlingly direct. Her work has succeeded over the years in many media—from films to appliqués, embroideries, and installations—but it is in her works on paper that the honesty and frankness that have come to characterize her work are most fully realized. Edited by the artist herself from an archive of work stretching back before the beginnings of her career in the late 1980s, A Thousand Drawings is at once a collection of Emin’s works on paper, an exposé of her life as an artist, and a collectible artifact in itself. Many of these works on paper shed light on well-known multimedia pieces, previously studied in Works 1963–2006, published by Rizzoli in 2006. Stripped of the distractions of form and context, her bare and enigmatic drawings are presented on bible-thin paper in a uniquely beautiful slipcased volume, with an introduction by the artist. From considered self-portraits to pen-and-ink drawings and informal studies on lined notebook paper, this remarkable collection is as much a catalogue of Emin’s preoccupations as it is a monument to her raw and evocative talents as an artist. Review “Emin-an artist who is not afraid to wear her heart on her sleeve, or, indeed too embroider it on a blanket-personally chose the pictures for this book, and the delicate sketches are at once a glimpse of the profundity she’s capable of, and a reminder of vulnerability.” ~Nylon Magazine About the Author Tracey Emin was born in London in 1963. Nominated for the Turner Prize in 1999 and chosen to represent Britain at the 52nd Venice Biennale in 2007, Emin is also a member of the Royal Academy of Arts. The author of several books, including Strangeland, her memoir, she contributes regularly to The Independent newspaper and lives and works in London.
