english description:
Includes ten etchings by Geneviève Asse, four full-page, some in color and some in relief printing only. Loose sheets in original wrapper, along with two additional etchings and the original slipcase.
One of 50 copies (total print run of 60; an additional 15 “hors commerce” copies without the etchings). – Colophon signed by the artist and author. – Printed on »papier pur chiffon« from Angoumois. – The twelve single-sided printed sheets are each folded in half twice. Includes the note for the bookbinder (»note a l’usage de MM. les relieurs«). – »With the simplicity of single vertical lines, pale inks, and impressed plates, which transform rough paper into silken panels, Asse has distilled the processes and materials of the intaglio printmaker into a visual poetry as minimal as that of the author du Bouchet. Imitating the title, ›Ici en deux (Here in Halves)‹, the artist has bisected the cover, frontispiece, and title with her plates, as well as interrupted lines of verse with a sharp line, splitting the page in two.« (Riva Castleman).
Case occasionally discolored and foxed. Wrapper slightly browned and minimally foxed. Untrimmed edges with occasional foxing.
