Splendid and rare illustrated book by the Sino-American artist Walasse Ting. In the spring of 1987 Walasse Ting went for two months to Amsterdam. Day after day, he painted and photographed sixty-six models hired on the spot. In this book are reproduced the works on rice paper that originate, in New York, from the memory of this trip to the Netherlands, as well as the original photographs.
