About This Item
Dublin, Ireland: CAP Art Limited, 2005. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 364 p. : ill. en coul. ; 31 cm. Folio. Hardcover. Publisher's original robin's egg blue cloth over boards, white lettering to spine. Book Condition: spine end lightly soiled at the tail, an almost imperceptible toning to razor thin top edge of pages, else fine. Dust Jacket Condition: very light wear else fine. A very sharp copy of a luxuriantly produced volume. Scarce title dedicated to documenting the fantastic art collection (CAP Collection) of a collector who apparently has no desire to be known, only to know. He or she is never named; and once dealt with in the preface is never mentioned again. With a thoughtful, detailed introduction by the artist David Breuer-Weil that endeavors to explain what makes this collection and this collector special. This survey features works by 49 different artists, over half of which are works on paper. The production values of the book are lavish, with a sophisticated layout and exhaustive documentation. Scarce. Worldcat shows five institutional holdings, two in Switzerland, two in the U.S. and one in Canada. Artists represented in the collection include.
