Edward Piper: Nudes

Hardcover. First Edition. Number 93 of 1,000 copies. Signed by Prue Piper.  Introduction by Jenny Pery.  ‘The early death of Edward Piper in 1990 at the age of fifty-one robbed British art of not only an outstanding painter, but also of a distingushed photographer.  This first book devoted to Piper’s photography is selected from large archive of prints developed by Piper himself over a twenty-five year period.  Above all else, it is a gloriously unashamed celebration of the female nude, in many moods and aspects’.   Condition: Book launch invitation card (signed by Prue Piper) loosely inserted.  Bookplate of the director of the Bohun Gallery to front end-paper, otherwise very good.
