"Crichton and Johns became good friends, and Crichton became such an expert in Johns' work that he wrote the liner notes for the Whitney Museum's exhibition of Johns' work in 1977. An expanded book published by Harry N. Abrams in 1994 is considered by many to be the definitive text on the artist." - NPR (May 9, 2010)
First revised and expanded edition. Signed, inscribed and dated by Michael Crichton directly on the title-page. While Crichton is best known for his fiction, he was also a noted collector of modern art and exhibited his own collection over the years (starting in 1977). Intimate and well regarded biography of Johns by Crichton, an admirer and friend. Bump to bottom corner and some light foxing at board edges. A scarce book for the Crichton and/or Johns collector.
