First Edition Signed
hardcover with clamshell. Center for Book Arts (illustrator). 18.375 x 18.25 inches. hardcover with clamshell. n.p. First edition limited to 100 signed and numbered copies. Alfonso A. Ossorio (1916-1990) was an abstract expressionist artist who was born in Manila and produced a body of work that remained consistently international in scope. His early fascination with Surrealism gave way to Abstract Expressionism although he continued to be influenced by his native Philippine Catholic folk art as well as the modernist techniques of Informel and assemblage. Instead of completely abandoning one set of principles for another, he would continue to incorporate those features he most favored into his next series of compositions which resulted in complex and multifaceted works. In failing health, he was hospitalized from January 17 to February 8, 1989 and December 3 to 5, 1990. Given some markers and watercolor paper, he began a series of drawings that would become this striking collection of forty-two images. The publication was designed by Richard Minsky, with texts by Rose Slivka, Dr. Lewis Thomas and B.H. Friedman. Each print, mounted and matted on Stonehenge paper, was printed on Permalife paper and authenticated in the margin with the seal of the Ossorio Foundation. Letterpress printed at the Center for Book Arts. This volume is housed in a red cloth clamshell box.

Stapled soft cover. Dubuffet, Jean (illustrator). Limited edition. [18]p, 3 linoleum cuts and 3 woodcuts. Given by Alfonso Ossorio, Dubuffet's longtime friend, fellow Art Brut artist, and collector, to an American art historian friend. The owner noted the gift on the front cover. Light edge wear and soil to covers; two short closed tears and paperclip indentations to back cover and last page. Tears mended with removable tape. "France" is stamped on the front cover. The "premier véritable livre de Dubuffet," and an early example of Art Brut printing. Written, illustrated, and printed on the dining room table by Dubuffet (assisted by his wife), using rudimentary materials and printing techniques. The illustrations were printed from the lids of Camembert cheese boxes. Using squares of fine silk, Dubuffet stenciled his nonsensical phonetic text onto newsprint. One of 165 unnumbered regular copies (plus 15 deluxe). Can be sent outside the US for less than the default shipping rate. Very good, especially considering its fragility.
