About this Item
First edition. Narrow quarto, measuring approximately 6" x 14" folded. Illustrated with fifteen vividly-colored serigraph prints by Kurt Kranz which inter-fold into triptychs (see below), housed in a top-loading slipcase with paper spine label. The publication is fine; the slipcase with one of the long edges split, a nick on one side, and the label tanned with two light stains, very good. A lovely but unusual production. Printed wrappers open to a title page titled, Signed, numbered and dated by in pencil by Kranz, followed by 7pp. of serigraphs; the book then unfolds again from the foredge with 7pp. of additional serigraphs bound in at the foredge side (the central conjoining panel makes 15); they can be interfolded to created different triptychs. German artist Kurt Kranz (1910-1997) studied at the Bauhaus from 1930 to 1933, taking courses by Josef Albers, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky and Joost Schmidt. He moved to the United States after World War II and taught at the Corcoran Gallery of Art and the University of Hawaii, before beginning a successful career as a printmaker in New York City. *OCLC* locates no copies.
