Without DJ, as issued. Published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition held at DC Moore Gallery New York from January 13 through February 7, 1998. Presents "Deborah Bermingham: The 'Mourning Cloak' Paintings". Named after the stunningly beautiful, melancholy butterfly ("Nymphalis antiopa") : Delicate, emotionally resonant objects rendered in a photographically realistic and exquisitely painterly style at the same time by a contemporary American Master. They conjure up the loss and the pain that the artist experienced following the sudden death of her beloved father in 1994. There is indeed something about her father here - whom she does not render even though Bermingham can paint just about anything - that the rendered objects evoke and recall: Antique clocks, birds, small balls and boxes, bits of string, and the Mourning Cloak butterfly. Bridget Moore also suggests a profound affinity/connection between Deborah Bermingham's memorial sequence with the work of the great American Surrealist artist Joseph Cornell, whose bird cages mourned America The Fatherland itself. An absolute "must-have" title for Deborah Bermingham collectors. This title is a contemporary art classic. This is one of few copies of the Exhibition Catalog still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: This Catalog is very beautifully produced, a keeper of a keepsake. A fine copy is therefore not just collectible and desirable, but preferable. Copies available online have serious flaws. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. 7 color plates. One of the most brilliant artists of our time. A fine copy.
