Shopping on the web for art has become a little slim lately, but here is a very interesting book about collecting that I found to be beautiful and a little heartbreaking.
The accordion style book contains reproductions of the stamp collection of the author's father. The author, Juan Sebastian Agudelo wrote a poem that appears on the back of the stamp reproductions that recounts the obsessive relationship that his father had with his collection. Upon his father's death, Agudelo took the collection, believed to be very valuable, to an expert only to find out that the collection was substantially valueless. As a result and to commemorate his father's life project, Agudelo published the book in a signed and numbered edition of 75.
It's available though my gallery, Quality Pictures for $150. Email me if you would like to order one.
