First Edition
Condition: As new. First edition. 4to, unpag.; additional print in paper chemise, glassine-encased leaf loosely inserted; embossed boards; two-piece drop-spine box. One of 135 numbered copies signed at the colophon by Sacks, Morell, and Muehling; 75 were reserved for council members and thirty for the artists. There was also a deluxe issue of 25 copies in a custom wooden box designed by Muehling. The designer was involved in all aspects of the book, producing exquisite laser-perforated enpapers, a beautifully subtle foldout paper-cast of leaves, consultng in the typography as well as the selection and arrangement of Morell's spectacular cliché-verre images -- a process akin to monoprints, in which the artist has made plant-based images on glass that are then used as negatives for photographic prints. The text is a chapter excerpted from Sacks's book The Island of the Colorblind. Another impressive entry in this MOMA series.
