Presents, in its Limited Edition format, Bruce Morton's "Textile". Lovely. All of the color photographs show various fabrics "in situ": As raw harvested cloth, dresses, curtains, tablecloths, window displays, and finally, as discarded wardrobe-donations to the Salvation Army. While there isn't a single human presence, that is precisely what we feel and sense - and is consciously evoked - by these austerely beautiful "landscape" photographs of modern urban spaces, of as the expression goes, The Way We Live Now. An absolute "must-have" title for Bruce Morton collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition. It is very boldly and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Bruce Morton. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the Limited Edition available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: The pieces of fabric that are neatly pasted on each copy is unique to it. No two copies have the same textile samples, thereby enhancing each one's collectible value. A rare signed copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with color plates. One of the most brilliant photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER BRUCE MORTON TITLES IN OUR CATALOG).
