Crying Painting + Book

I created this book and was gifted this painting. The auction winner will be mailed both. The painting: an early oil painting by the American artist Jesse Edwards, featured on the first cover of my book introducing Edwards to the art world. The book: my photos of his early work, privately available until now. Ten years ago the book started a series of events that would eventually land Edwards's work in group shows alongside Picasso, Basquiat, and Warhol. This sale will fund my next publication.
