About this Item

VERY RARE signed first edition UK hardcover. Special Faber bookplate. This is a new copy of this extraordinary book by an artist who should be exhibited at Tate Modern. This is fine art. It is an example of an artist who should have work in public galleries, such as Tate Modern, but which is excluded by the narrow minded attitudes of the people who govern the art we see. We are all the poorer for such exclusion. SIGNATURE is via an official Faber bookplate. This large format hardback was issued without a jacket.

About this title

Synopsis

ILLUSTRATIONS AND COMICS FROM THE "NEW YORKER" COVER ARTIST AND AWARD-WINNING CARTOONIST
Two strangers, both reading the same novel, share a fleeting glance between passing subway cars. A bookstore owner locks eyes with a neighbor as she receives an Amazon package. Strangers are united by circumstance as they wait on the subway stairs for a summer storm to pass.
Adrian Tomine's illustrations and comics have been appearing for more than a decade in the pages (and on the cover) of "The New Yorker." Instantly recognizable for their deceptively simple and evocative style, these images have garnered the attention of "The New Yorker"'s readership and the approbation of such venerable institutions as the Art Directors Club and "American Illustration."
"New York Drawings "is a loving homage to the city that Tomine, a West Coast transplant, has called home for the past seven years. This lavish, beautifully designed volume collects every cover, comic, and illustration that he has produced for "The New Yorker "to date, along with an assortment of other rare and uncollected illustrations and sketches inspired by the city. Complete with notes and annotations by the author, "New York Drawings "will also feature a new introductory comic focusing on Tomine's experiences as a New York illustrator.
