"This catalogue raisonne was published in conjunction with the exhibitoin: 'Under Pressure of Time: Artist's Books and printed Editions by Mikhail Karasik, St. Petersburg' presented at Museum Het Valkhof, Nijmegen 13 November 2010-23 January 2011, Bibliotheca Wittockiana, Brussels, 24 February - 30 April 2011...
The elements in Karasik's work that will attract most book collectors is his strict, almost relentless, pursuit of the book as an artistic concept. The use of stylistic elements rooted in Russian art history, his preference for primary colours, and his meticulous execution of the prints are other elements why collectors are drawn to Karasik."
Includes an essay entitled "Appearances Are Deceptive: Mikhail Karasik and the Art of the Book" by John E. Bowlt. Artist's bio and selected bibliography are also included. Contains a letter of donation from Karasik to the Center for Book Arts.
