The art of John Brack

Melbourne: Oxford University Press, 1990. Two volumes quarto, clothbound with gilt-stamped spines in matching slipcase, a superior example with only light rubbing to the gilt, 236; 262pp. Volume one is a series of essays by Grishin on various elements of Brack’s oeuvre while volume two is a catalogue raisonne of oil paintings, works on paper and prints, completely illustrated. The edition was withdrawn by the publisher due to dissatisfaction with the quality of gilt to the spines which is frequently found rubbed. The edition was remaindered and it is rumoured a portion pulped.
