You have never had chance to speak of how particularly love mattered in your life, nor of the many ways it so invaded you, chafed, rubbed, itched, "grew wet with desire," long, soft, hard, etc. You were observant of cares in such matters, bulks of person, legs, arms, heads, etc. It's hard to budge the real if it's not your own. Born very young into a world already very old... Even spitting it out was often awkward. Seemingly unseemly, uncertain. Curtain. Hide it from view, then, until they've all gone.

 

Georg Baselitz
and Robert Creeley

Signs is a book of ten prints in drypoint and aquatint by Georg Baselitz and a prose poem by Robert Creeley. The collaboration proceeds from the meeting of artist and poet in 1996 in Derneberg, Germany. Signs is printed in an edition of sixty Arabic numbered books presented in folio on Somerset paper.

Georg Baselitz is Germany's preeminent painter and Robert Creeley is America's most distinguished poet. The pairing of Creeley and Baselitz unites two of the giants of international contemporary art in this landmark publication by Graphicstudio.
