ZAO WOU-KI (1920-2013) et Henri MICHAUX (1899-1984)
Annonciation. Moments. Paris : les bibliophiles de l'Automobile Club de France, 1996.

Exemplaire enrichi de la suite des gravures, toutes signées et justifiées par l'artiste.
"Pour le frontispice, Zao Wou-Ki grave une eau-forte unique dans son oeuvre : il transpose en gravure une aquarelle de 1948 de Michaux que ce dernier lui avait offerte. Ce travail d'interprétation est d'une totale fidélité, d'autant qu'il lui a fallu graver la plaque de métal en inversant la composition. Ce geste est bien évidemment un nouveau témoignage de l'amitié et de l'admiration qu'il a pour Henri Michaux. La seconde gravure en couleurs, en fin d'ouvrage, s'inspire d'une des aquarelles contemporaines de Zao Wou-Ki." (Zao Wou-Ki et les poètes, p. 214-221).
