London: Albemarle Gallery, 2006. First edition. Softcover. g+ to vg. Small Folio. 39 (1)pp. Original pictorial blue wraps with white lettering on cover. Frontispiece. "Pablo Atchugarry's current sculptures are both pleasant and pleasing. Because of their highly refined aesthetical appearance they blend perfectly into any environment - that being a gallery, a natural resort of a city. Even if not intentionally so, they thereby add - as it would seem at first sight - a highly decorative quality to the space surrounding them. Being of an entirely non-figurative character, they are neither confronting nor disturbing, nor do his works provoke. For many critics of contemporary art, used to conceptualism, this makes Atchugarry and his work somewhat suspicious" (Till-Holger Borchert. Profusely illustrated with full page color photographs of Atchugarry's enchanting sculptures. Wrappers with light wear along edges, lightly bent at top right corner and rubbed.
