Notes: Near Fine 8vo, 8" x 10" art exhibit catalog in stiff glossy white wraparound pictorial gate-fold wraps featuring Michael Tompkin's 1993 oil painting, "Twilight and Italy, Plumb, Bob, and Squash" to covers, grey lettering to cover, sharp tips, light rubbing and minimal creasing to spine, else clean, intact, and unmarked throughout. Unpaginated. Replete with full-color images of Michael Tompkin's photorealistic paintings. Includes an Artist's Statement, a List of Paintings, and a Biography. This catalog was published in conjunction with an exhibition of Michael Tompkin's paintings held at San Francisco's Campbell-Thiebaud Gallery June 1 to July 3, 1993. From the Artist's Statement: "...I hope these objects, more correctly these paintings, can speak of things outside themselves. It is a painter's nightmare that they will amount to only pigment smeared on a panel that looks like a cup or a ball. It is a painter's enticement to find, as Shakespeare put it, 'Tongues in the trees, books in running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.'" A gift-worthy catalog. Heavy and oversized items may require additional shipping.
