First Edition / First Printing. As New in No Dust Jacket, As Issued. 16 pages. Artist Book. The 80th title in the now-legendary "One Picture Book" Series by Nazraeli Press, one of the most superb ongoing projects of contemporary art photography. Limited Edition of 500 numbered and signed copies. Accompanied by one tipped-in, original print by the photographer (hence the Series' name). An elegant production by Chris Pichler: Small-size volume format. Titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Risaku Suzuki. Printed on pristine-white, archival stock paper to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Risaku Suzuki's "Snow Letter". His second contribution to the One Picture Book Series. "Zeroes in on the building blocks that form the snow pictures for which he has become renowned: The individual snowflake. Twelve breathtaking photographs of individual snowflakes (or 'letters sent from heaven', as Ukichiro Nakaya described them) in a pitch-perfect follow-up to his earlier monograph, 'Yuki Sakura' " (Publisher's blurb). This is surely one of the most austerely beautiful One Picture Books ever. An absolute "must-have" title for Risaku Suzuki collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition, indicated/numbered as such in pencil on the Back Limitation Page. It comes with an original color print that is very prominently and beautifully signed and dated (in the year of publication) in black pen-marker on verso by the photographer: "Risaku Suzuki 2013". This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Limited Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: The remaining copies from the publisher command $100. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. 11 color plates, 1 original print. One of the most brilliant photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER ONE PICTURE BOOK TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 159005380X.
