AARSMAN, Hans. Hollandse Taferelen. Amsterdam: Fragment, 1989.
Signed first edition, with an original chromogenic print (305 x 405mm) published in this book: the collapsed greenhouse in Hobrede. This work is a fine “homage to the seventeenth century Dutch landscape painters [...] Aarsman replaces the bucolic optimism of the paintings with a sardonic pessimism, keeping the irony tuned up and any other signs of self-expression toned down” (The Photobook, vol. II, p.69). The print is titled (“Hobrede”), signed (“Hans Aarsman 1988”) and annotated (“Print June 2001”) all in black ink on the verso. The book is in very nearly fine example of the dust-jacket.
