Etat : Fine. First Edition. Lush manuscript artist's book from the noted calligrapher exploring the mythology, etymology, and poetry of the raven - each page a beautiful swirling of structure and abstraction. "While skiing across new snow on the high plains near Mosquero, New Mexico, I notice a raven gliding on my right, her wings glinting in the sun," Nancy Culmone recalls in the colophon of RAVEN. From that encounter sprang this work, showcasing Culmone's artistry and engrossing talent. The text seems to move in and out of colors that adorn each page, like a raven darting between branches. 12.5'' x 9.5''. Original hand-painted stiff wrappers. 32 pages on Arches Text, with one fold-out. Every page penned with a variety of nibs, quills, and inks, all hand-painted with matte acrylic mixed with wheat paste and illustrated in shades of white, blue, black, and gold. With printed-out email exchange between the artist and a former owner discussing the artist's work process loosely laid in. In original blue cloth clamshell, with hand-painted paper onlay and hand-painted lining. Sharp and bright. Signed.

Softcover. Etat : Fine. Oblong 48mo. (8)ff. A cross-reference of the visual and philosophical materials upon which Culmone and Moore based their team-taught class at the 1989 calligraphy conference, "Experiment." Indeed, the result is a pedagogical experiment on its own merit, offering 1) the raw materials for students to learn basic bookbinding; and 2) a series of blank page spreads amenable to note-taking and script practice. Leaves offset-printed. Bound in original paste paper wrappers. Fine. Prospectus laid in. One of 100 copies. Signed by Culmone and Moore.

Softcover. Etat : Fine. Oblong 32mo. (12)pp. Cadmore's series of calligraphed spreads recalls the expressive drawings of Cy Twombly and the sweeping letterforms of Suzanne Moore, often her collaborator. Bound in paste paper wrappers. Stray edge rubs else fine. One of 98 copies, signed by the calligrapher.
