Martin Silverman, Untitled, Kew Garden Hills, NY, c. early 1990s

cover

A curious little handmade accordion featuring 6 copies of woodblock prints by this printmaker and sculptor who was born in 1950. I have been unable to find any more  information about this artist, but this publication feels like its a sampler of some of his prints and presumably was created to publicize his print works. No edition size is indicated.

6 single-sided pages, individually 4" x 5", and when fully opened 2ft 6".
