New York: Sarah Plimpton, 2021. Number 2 of 8 copies written and illustrated by the artist. Sarah Plimpton was born in New York City and divides her time between New York and France. She works in several media; oil painting, printmaking and artists’ books and is also a poet. Her books are in such collections as The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, The New York Public Library, The Morgan Library, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In this handsome work, Plimpton illustrated each letter of the alphabet with a drawing and wrote a few poetic words for each on the page following. She did the original drawings for this during the Covid lockdown. She found the thought of doing all of the letters daunting but is pleased that they are now in a book. Set in Caslon 540 type and printed on Somerset paper. The images were printed by Erik Hougan at LESP and the text was printed by Brad Ewing at The Grenfell Press in NY. The book is softcover bound with a Coptic style binding and housed in a green clamshell box with black titling. Both were made by Claudia Cohen. In fine condition. Measures 5.5 x 8.5 inches. Unpaginated. ARTISTSB/070522. Fine.
