Authentic Joel-Peter Witkin Bonehouse Limited Edition

Product Name: Authentic Joel-Peter Witkin Bonehouse Limited Edition
Hardcover. 2000. ISBN: 0-944092-57-8 Limited Edition Second edition limited to 5 thousand casebound and slipcased copies. Small spot of discoloration on case. See photo. Otherwise, in good condition. Witkin's longtime publisher brings out this latest update of his oeuvre with the lush reproductions and immaculate design one expects from Twin Palms. Featuring "First Photograph, Brooklyn, 1950," one photograph from 1998, and even a couple striking paintings, this work ranges widely, but the vast majority authentic of the roughly 90 pieces are from the well-documented 1980s and 1990s. The macabre and sublime mix in these images, mostly tableaux on mythical themes, which Witkin explains with the observation that "I consider myself a portraitist; not of people, but conditions of being.".
