Description from the seller
Technical data for Walton Ford's Pancha Tantra /
Format: 29,20 x 38,70 x 4,50 cm
Updated edition 2023
Personal acquisition in 2023
Signed by the author on the occasion of the presentation of his updated work for its 2023 release with the on-site creation of a caricature drawing: A gorilla, during my purchase of the book at the Taschen Brussels shop, Place du Grand-Sablon, 35 - 1000 Brussels. Having already other copies of this magnificent art book, this one offered for sale has never been consulted, nor opened, nor leafed through, nor stained and is in pristine original condition with no creases. Therefore, I will include, at the time of shipment, reading gloves to prevent stains and marks during handling.
Thanks to its customization with an original drawing and its autograph, it is a unique work.

About the artist /
Walton Ford, born in 1960, first studied cinema at the Rhode Island School of Design, before realizing that painting was his calling. For twenty-five years, he has created large-format watercolors imagined as narratives. His work has been the subject of numerous exhibitions, including several solo shows, such as at the Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin or the Brooklyn Museum in New York.
About this work /
At first glance, Walton Ford's extremely detailed large-format animal watercolors recall the natural history plates illustrated in the 19th century by John James Audubon and Edward Lear. But a closer look reveals a complex universe with troubling anthropomorphism, full of symbols, biting humor, and references to the ‘dramatization’ of traditional natural history
About the author /
Bill Buford is a full-time writer for The New Yorker. He has also been a founder/editor of Granta and is the author, among others, of Among the Thugs and Heat: An Amateur’s Adventures as a Kitchen Slave. He lives in New York with his wife and their two sons.
