JOHNS, Jasper (né en 1930) et Samuel BECKETT (1906-1989). Foirades. Fizzles. [Londres et New York :] Petersburg Press, 1976.Superbe exemplaire hors-commerce de l'un des plus beaux livres d'artistes de la fin du XXe siècle. Castleman, pp. 214-215 : "the short story Beckett provided for this book is printed in English and French, doubling the amount of pages and opportunities for the addition of the artist's imagery. Confronting sets of the English and French names of objects in that painting, shown as if in a magic translating mirror, combine the artist's interest in ready-made letters with the ambiguity of how they are used".In-4 (330 x 250 mm), broché. Tirage limité à 300 exemplaires, celui-ci l'un des 20 hors-commerce (n°20), signé par l'auteur et l'artiste à la justification. 33 gravures originales de Jasper Johns. Emboîtage de l'éditeur, orné de 2 lithographies originales en couleurs de Johns. Beautiful hors-commerce copy of one of the greatest artists' books of the second half of the 20th century.
