BANKA, Pavel. Infinity. Prague: Galerie Rudolfinum, 2001. Folio, original gray cloth, original dust jacket. $150.
Signed limited edition, one of 1500 copies in English, with 65 beautifully printed plates.
"This hardcover volume is the complete catalogue to Pavel Banka's major retrospective at Prague's Rudolfinum Museum, the Czech Republic's most important venue for contemporary art. The 65 large beautifully printed plates are divided into the four parts of the series: forests, hills and meadows, sea, and sky… In this work Pavel Banka embraces not only the dusky sobriety of his Eastern European roots, but the poetic, lyrical darkness of all the best of Czech photography" (Alan Klotz).
A fine copy.
