Valérie Rousseau, Anne-Imelda Radice

Published by American Folk Art Museum, 2015

About this Item

First edition softcover exhibition catalogue. Swedish bound, 136pp. with color illustrations. Clean, internally unmarked, and well bound. Published on the occasion of an exhibition of the same name at the American Folk Art Museum. This exhibition brings together (ostensibly) less collectible but equally important art and ephemera by self-taught artists and performers, looking beyond painting and sculpture to instead document ceremonial clothes, kinetic apparatuses, installations, writings, fragments of ever-changing constructions, and more in order to illustrate the lives and work of those artists for whom the curtain never comes down, as it were. This copy shows moderate edgewear especially to the spine and fore-edge of cover, with only mild shelfwear besides. Page block and interiors in excellent condition, fresh and crisp, almost as new. Uncommon and attractive.
