Robert Motherwell — Ulysses portfolio and book
Robert Motherwell

Ulysses portfolio and book

Created in collaboration with Arion Press in San Francisco, Robert Motherwell's *Ulysses* portfolio and book is a distinguished limited edition work, with loose prints signed with initials and numbered 31/150 in pencil, accompanied by a signed and numbered book on its limitation page. The suite of prints is housed in original individual paper folders within an elegant blue silk-covered box, while the book is presented in a matching blue silk-covered binding with refined leather trim and a coordinating slipcase. This meticulously crafted edition, which also includes five artist's proofs in Roman numerals, exemplifies Motherwell's dedication to the art of fine press publishing and the seamless union of visual art and literary tradition.
