Plastic Poems by Katue Kitasono

At one time the most well-known and admired Japanese artist-poet in Europe and America, though regrettably today neglected, this beautifully-produced catalogue documents the so-called ‘plastic poems’ of Katue Kitasono, Dada-inflected arrangements of objects photographed head-on as though they are haikus, an amazing experimental body of work. Fine hardback in slipcase, with original paper wrappers which are a little rumpled at the edges, otherwise Fine throughout. The book includes an English-language insert with a text on the works by professor John Solt.
