3 Books

3 Books is an eclectic and meticulously crafted reproduction of rare and unpublished books: Nudes, a collection of drawings originally released in small editions over several volumes, Amateurs, a photo book produced for the Japanese gray market, and Ice Cream Kisses, the highly anticipated catalogue of paintings. Together the books form a constellation of love and lust, revealing the artist at his most vulnerable and his most arrogant. The results are exquisite. And the production quality is unprecedented. Featuring a cold-glued, thread-bound textblock, an innovative cover that draws back to reveal an exposed spine, and a rich assortment of gray and black inks, 3 Books is a stunning tribute to the book form itself.
