From the publisher: The 2006 Whitney Biennial catalogue, with 800 pages (they are counting the doubling effect that occurs with the unique gatefold) and more than 200 images. Uses an innovative book format in order to present a remarkable artists' section called "Draw Me a Sheep." (borrowing its title from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's "The Little Prince") the "Draw Me a Sheep." section is a collection of individual artist pages done as a series of four-panel "poster" foldouts. By inviting each artist to create a page for the book, "Draw Me a Sheep" presents an image from the artist's world and explores how each artist deals with representation in his or her own time. Title printing on cover and spine is glow-in-the-dark.
