(Mary Abbott) Gertrude Stein, "Matisse, Picasso, and Gertrude Stein," Something Else Press, 1972. First edition paperback thus.
From the library of abstract expressionist painter Mary Abbott, with her signature on the first blank page. Abbott was a pioneer in the field, as well as an associate of Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, and Barbara Guest, among many other important New York arts figures.
Covers are rough, with a couple short tears and creases, and there is a stain to front and cover and several pages at lower right corner. A great association on a well-read copy.
