VVV

Selections from the Abiquiu Bookroom: VVV

Among O’Keeffe’s diverse collection of books and serials is no. 2-3 of VVV. VVV was a Surrealist journal published in New York during World War II and was edited by David Hare with editorial advisors André Breton, Marcel Duchamp and Max Ernst.

The pages of VVV are of varying weight and may include attachments and/or pull out pages. The back cover of no. 2-3 is a Duchamp “readymade”.
