[Rarebooks] FS: Pasternak's MY SISTER-LIFE printed on paper cut from Russian newspapers

[Charles Agvent]

PASTERNAK, Boris (Yuri KUPER). MY SISTER-LIFE. New York: Limited 
Editions Club, 1991. Large folio (16" x 23") imaginatively halfbound 
with a gray goatskin spine and the same leather used as strips on the 
fore-edge of each cover with treated handmade paper sides using the same 
paper as the text. Housed in a slipcase made of tough gray linen-rayon. 
Printed letterpress on paper made by hand to resemble the sort of stock 
produced in the 1920s in the Soviet Union. To attain this effect, 
Russian newspapers were cut into minute pieces and incorporated with 
rags and cotton pulp with individual Cyrillic letters floated onto the 
mixture before the process was completed. Illustrated with six etchings 
by Yuri Kuper printed in Paris on Hahnemuhle paper by Aldo Crommelynck, 
whose superlative techniques, inherited from the European crafts 
tradition, have been used by such artists as Picasso, Jasper Johns, and 
Jim Dine. SIGNED by the illustrator on the colophon page. Copy #13 of 
only 250, one of the smallest limitations of the club. Spine evenly 
sunned. Near Fine in a Near Fine slipcase with some uneven sunning. 
(#018998)        $2,000.00
