Near Fine hardcover quarto with wraparound pictorial paper over boards, white tile to spine, no dust jacket as issued. Previous owner's name written in marker on title page, forward cock and scuffing to spine, otherwise clean, tightly bound, sharp tips. An extensive exploration of the artist's profuse career in striking full-color reproductions and black-and-white photographs printed on uncoated paper. Includes Krasner's early collage and works on paper, her nude studies and her transformation toward cubism and then abstraction after working with Hans Hoffman. A comprehensive understanding of a central figure in the world of Abstract Expressionism, including a perviously unpublished interview with the artist. Complemented further by full-bleed photographs that separate sections taken in Lee's company by her dear friend, Ray Eames. A publication worthy of the artist. 239 pp., including chronology and notes.
