About This Item

This Book is Signed, Inscribed, and Dated by Bill Viola on the Title Page. Also included is a Rare Personal Letter by Bill Viola discussing his 1997 Whitney Museum Exhibition ("Bill Viola: A 25-Year Survey"). The Letter is a Thank You letter for the letter recipient's support of the Whitney Museum show, stating (among other things) that, "Your committment has given the project a real boost at a critical time, and the 'vote of confidence' your contribution represents in terms of my work means a lot to me personally." The Letter also presents the recipient with this Book. The Letter is Signed and Dated by Bill Viola. The Letter is a folded sheet of paper and is in Great Condition, with light wear, and would look good suitably framed. The Book is in Very Good Condition. The Softcovers have Very Light Edgewear but are in Excellent Condition with No Tears, Creases, Stains, or Any Major Damage. The Spine is Not Creased; the Binding is Strong, Intact, and Undamaged. The Interior is Clean and Unmarked (other than Bill Viola's Signature and Inscription, of course) with No Writing, Highlighting, or Underlining and with No Tears, Creases, Stains, Mold, or Any Major Damage. The Page Edges have a Few Very Small Foxing Spots to the Top Edge but No Remainder Mark, Stains, or Any Major Damage.
