Seller's Description:
Fine in Near Fine jacket. Size: Large 8vo 9"-10; Stated First Edition, First Printing, with "1" in "number" line present. "This is the first full-scale biography of one of the most elusive and enigmatic painters of our time--the self-proclaimed Count Balthus Klossowski de Rola--whose brilliant, markedly sexualized portraits, especially of young girls, are among the most memorable images in contemporary art. The artist's complexities are clarified and his genius understood in a book that derives its immediacy from the author's long and intense conversations with Balthus himself--who never previously consented to discuss his life and work with a biographer--as well as Weber's interviews with the painter's closest associates" (from the publisher's blurb). First published by Knopf in 1999Fine-looking, structurally sound hardcover, little discernible wear, bright interior, unmarked. Bound in gray cloth over boards, sharp and distinct lettering to spine. viii [1], 3-644 pp. Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.
