Closed Mondays

Lui, Elizabeth Gill . Closed Mondays. Tucson, AZ: Nazraeli Press, 1999. First edition. 4to. Grey cloth with pictorial paste-down and blue lettering on front, and blue lettering on spine. Illustrated with color reproductions of photographs. A photographic study of “museums of distinction” throughout the world. Color photographs are primarily exteriors, some are abstract details. “In looking photographically at the museum as an art form complete within itself, I hope to encourage others to look beyond the surface appearance of both art and architecture, beyond the merely physical attributes of the work, toward the transcendent value that initially inspired the vision of artist and architect.” (photographers’s foreword). Very good condition. vg. Hardcover. (22300) $65
