ALBRECHT DÜRER: Das malerische Werk. (Jahresgabe des Deutschen Vereins für Kunstwissenschaft.) Tapa dura - 1971

Berlin: Deutscher Verlag fur Kunstwissenschaft, 1971. First edition, 1971. Hardback. 303pp followed by 191 monochrome plates. 8 full-page colour plates within the text. Red cloth boards with gilt monograms to upper board and gilt titles to spine. Dust jacket and slipcase. Fedja Anzelewsky has produced an authoritative study of the paintings of Durer. The benefit of this detailed study is that it focuses entirely on the details of the paintings and therefore separates this body of work from Durer's many other graphic activities. This is a serious and scholarly work and the text is in German. Book in near fine condition. Dust jacket in good condition and unclipped. A little edge wear and some minor creasing. Spine slightly discoloured. Slipcase in fair condition - structurally sound but a little rubbed and soiled. This is an extremely heavy book but no additional shipping costs to UK post codes.
