In-folio leaves in soft plastic cover and publisher's slipcase (small tears and soiling to slipcase; illustrations transferred). An astonishing book-object whose leaves evoke the mathematical sign of infinity (∞); it is illustrated with full-page linocuts, and is presented in a slipcase whose cover is illustrated with a collage by the artist. Limited edition of 140 copies on Arches vellum, this one no. 65 nominative for Étienne Lafond.
