Description
Based in Paris, Woolworth is a printer who works with other artists to create books and prints. This artists’ book incorporates lithography, photogravure, woodcuts, and embroidery and is an intervention of a volume of the Fasquelle edition of One Thousand Nights and a Night (also known as The Thousand and One Nights). On view is one volume in a series published by Woolworth that examines the Fasquelle multi-volume edition. The images come from Spanish artist Sicilia’s research in the visual rendering of sound.
