Notes

The book of 54 screenprinted images and poems was produced by Walter Battiss over eight months after five visits to the Greek islands between 1966 and 1968. The hand-written colophon reads: 'Nesos is the Greek word for island. The contents of this book are images from sixteen Greek islands that I knew. All the serigraphs have been made by me and no printer has touched the pages. There are a few odd proofs and only 25 numbered copies.'

Walter Battiss, Athens, 1968

Images of Nesos installed at the Walter Battiss 'I Invented Myself' The Jack Ginsberg Collection exhibition. Curated by Warren Siebrits, 6 July to 11 December 2016.
