Photography by Tom Baril

Published by 4AD Publishing, London, UK, and Rose Gallery, Santa Monica, CA, 1997, FIRST EDITION.

DELUXE LIMITED EDITION WITH PRINT

It was a well-planned move by 4AD to have the wisdom to publish a DELUXE LIMITED EDITION, along with the LIMITED Trade Edition of Tom Baril’s FIRST MONOGRAPH. It is now a book that is not only highly sought-after, but once owned, rarely parted from the owner.

The DELUXE LIMITED EDITION of only 50 books (plus 5 Publisher’s copies) contains a SIGNED and NUMBERED book, plus a Gelatin Silver 5 x 7 inch print titled “The Chrysler Building, 1995”, which is SIGNED, NUMBERED and DATED in a separate folder, with both housed in a specially produced silk/cloth SLIPCASE. The FIRST EDITION book is bound in brown silk, with a tri-toned image on the cover plate. This is such a lavish production.

This SCARCE DELUXE LIMITED EDITION is offered in AS NEW/PRISTINE condition, and was purchased directly from the Gallery. It would be difficult to find a better example of this book elsewhere.
