An established American artist with a growing international reputation, Lance Letscher transforms found paper into works of art that are mysteriously evocative, often playful, and graphically beautiful. In these collages, which vary from small works on paper to elaborate constructions as large as nine by fourteen feet, Letscher emerges as a skilled colorist and abstractionist who allows blocks of color and fragments of phrases to open up intriguing avenues of memory and association. This special limited edition of Lance Letscher: Collage contains an original pinwheel collage mounted on the title page of each copy. Each collage is unique, and every book in the edition of 250 copies is signed and numbered by Lance Letscher. The dust jacket is wrapped in an archival acetate cover, and the book is placed in a custom-made slipcase printed with a pattern for a Letscher collage.
