This collection is of three rare books regarding the artwork of Viktor IV (Walter Karl Gluck, 1929-1986). This postwar and contemporary artist was born in New York City, and he eventually moved to Amsterdam in the early 1970s. He used a variety of materials in his mixed-media artwork and was also adept at photography. Through these three books, you can learn more about both his life and his art. He counted Henry David Thoreau as one of his influences.
