Withdrawn. Collection of Linoleum Printing Blocks and Prooof Prints, Made by Yaron Livay – "Song of Songs"

Withdrawn.

Collection of printing blocks (most of them linoleum blocks) and proof prints made by the artist Yaron Livay, which served for making the book "Shir HaShirim" (Song of Songs). The book which was printed using the printing blocks before us was published in London in 1995, in a limited edition of 51 copies (Flying Sugar Press).
The collection contains: * 69 linoleum printing blocks which were used for making the illustrations of the book. * Aluminum printing block (for printing the text of the colophon). * Four printing blocks which were used for making the cover of the book. * 62 sheets of paper with linoleum prints, black-and-white, which were printed using the blocks.
Enclosed: * Two proof prints of the cover of the book (front and back). Dedicated, signed and dated by Livay. 1994-1995. * Proof print from one of the blocks. Captioned ("Song of Songs"), signed, dated (1994) and marked "A.P.". * An additional print made by Livay, from his book "Rendezvous with Handel". Captioned, signed and dated (1993).
The artist Yaron Livay was the founder of the London printing house "Flying Sugar Press", where he manually printed meticulous artist's books in limited editions.
