New York: Alpine Fine Arts Collection Ltd, 1982. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. A pristine copy in all respects. First impression. Folio in publisher's original grey cloth with title and credits in gilt to spine, also embossed on front panel. 194 pages including introduction, 99 plates, 48 in full colour. Ching's work is notable for its use of white space rendering the pencil or paint work almost non-existent, yet suggesting something quite complex - 'little pieces of time caught, held and thoroughly pared down to a kind of perfected simplicity'. Outstandingly superlative production values in this scarce and sought-after work. Listing with Biblio since 2005, we guarantee our book descriptions, & post the next business day.
