A propos de cet article

First impression of the true first edition, published as a paperback original (PBO). ***Near fine in illustrated card covers. The covers have some light marks and rubbing, but are generally very clean. Some very light creases to the corners. No reading lean to the binding. No reading creases to the spine. Spine tight. No fading. Internally also near fine with no inscriptions. Pages clean. No creases or tears. ***158 pages including Acknowledgments and Notes and Sources at the back of the book. 217mm x 140mm. ***Contents: I. Girl Looking at the Sole of Her Foot, II. Daphne, Running, III. L'Eternelle Idole, IV. Caryatid Carrying Her Stone. ***"A mixed meditation on art, wonder, loss and identity, the essays are inventive and harrowing." - Oprah Winfrey (quote taken from the front cover) ***'For her collection, "Lost Wax", Jericho Parms borrows her title from a casting method used by sculptors. As such, these eighteen essays, centered on art and memory, offer an investigation into form and content and the language of innocence, experience, and loss. Written largely within the galleries of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, "Lost Wax" is an inquiry into the ways we curate memory and human experience despite the limitations of observation and language. In these essays, Parms exhibits and examines her greatest obsessions: how to describe the surface of marble and bronze; how to embrace the necessary complexities of identity, stillness and movement, life and death -- how to be young and alive.' (Quote taken from the back cover) ***First impression of the true first edition, published as a PBO, in near fine original condition. Uncommon in the UK. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
