A Day Book by Robert Creeley; including two additional prints

R.B. Kitaj's *A Day Book by Robert Creeley* is a richly varied portfolio of 13 prints created in collaboration with poet Robert Creeley, showcasing Kitaj's versatility across screenprint, etching, and lithography. Executed on an eclectic range of supports including paper, canvas, and acetate, the works reflect Kitaj's characteristically layered approach to image-making, blending literary and visual culture with striking formal invention. Presented loose as issued within their original slipcase and red fabric-covered portfolio, the complete set stands as a landmark example of the artist's book tradition in postwar printmaking.

Medium
The complete set of 13 prints in colours, comprised of eight screenprints, four etchings and a lithograph, on various papers, canvas and acetate, the full sheets and with full margins, loose (as issued), contained in the original slipcase and red fabric-covered portfolio.
