102 2011_DSFB_0658 (Letter to Lorca) A view from my darkroom. LYSSIOTIS, Peter Melbourne : Masterthief, 2010. Quarto, grey linen-bound boards, stamped in red with the dates of Lorca's execution and of Lyssiotis' birth, the binding by Wayne Stock, illustrated endpapers after Robert Motherwell, extensively illustrated with tipped-on lambda photographic prints of the artist's photomontages, unpaginated. Limited to 10 copies plus 3 artist's proofs. Lorca is one of the strongest influences on Australian artist Lyssiotis' career, and in this volume he writes an imaginary letter to the great writer, which, along with his photomontages, delicately expose their shared vulnerabilities. $ 4,500 # 821
A Gardener at midnight LYSSIOTIS, Peter # 9 Travels in the Holy Land. From drawings made on the spot by Yabez Al-Kitab. Melbourne: Masterthief, 2004. Elephant folio, half crushed morocco over buckram, spine with raised bands and contrasting title label, full page and double page photographic illustrations, a stunning contemporary artist’s book. Limited to ten copies, this is one of a handful of artist’s proofs. Peter Lyssiotis is nationally recognised as creating artist’s books which compel and confront those who explore them. His work is a product of craftsmanship at the highest level, and its agenda is to explore structures of political and social hierarchy, the result being a finished work of both beauty and substance. ‘A Gardener at midnight’ was devised during the time of the occupation of Iraq by the ‘Coalition of the Willing’ in 2003. Drawing upon the nineteenth century volumes of David Roberts, it juxtaposes images of antiquity with the frightening reality of globalisation, and its impact upon independent cultures. ‘A Gardener at midnight’ has been widely acclaimed as a tour de force in modern book artistry. ‘[Lyssiotis’] triumph is that in making this masterpiece, he has established contexts for the lives of the Iraqi people... The book shows there is a reality outside the library text, and a vision beyond the images of mass deception’ – Humphrey McQueen, The Age, 30 December 2005.
