Presented in a custom slipcase and limited to 100 numbered copies, each signed by Ralph Gibson, this collector's Art Edition is accompanied by the silver gelatine print Untitled (Chicago Nude), 2008. Format 35.5 cm x 28 cm (14" x 11").
A decade after his first TASCHEN book, Deux ex Machina, Ralph Gibson is back with an exquisite collection of nudes, chosen by the artist from his own archive, combining early works and his most recent images with an in-depth interview by Eric Fischl. Gibson's work - strikingly graphic, meticulously composed, loaded with subtle provocations and mysterious allusions - pays tribute to photographic traditions while pushing the medium's frontiers. Lovers and collectors of fine art photography will relish this rare opportunity to own a signed, numbered, limited edition volume - as well as the silver gelatine print of one of his nudes.
