Groningen, P. Elchers, 2007. Five volumes, Oblong folio (22.0 x 27.5 cm); each volume containing a separate title page with the artist's name, short biography of the artist (1 p.), and a description (recipe) of each of the paper samples (on two leaves, versos blank); and 25 paper samples. Original uniform white cloth with manuscript title (handwritten, apparently by the artists) on front covers; and matching original white cloth slipcase (23.3 x 21.7 x 28.4 cm).

A unique art project, initiated and published by the Dutch art publisher Philip Elchers (Flip Ekkers), in which five artists show their paper portfolio. Each with a short biography written by Dorrit Asselbergs Artists included, all from the Netherlands or Germany, are Barbara Lütjen (1-25); Henriette Harkink (26-50); Katrin Röder (51-75); Matty de Vries (76-100) and Katrin Ruhnau (101-125). This is number 16 of 35 copies made. "For four decades ... Flip Ekkers demonstrated that the old term the art of (book) printing is still actual. Under the flag of publishing house Philip Elchers he made, together with a big diversity of artists eye-catching books, that are an honour to the artist himself as a jewel for the book business. To quote Han Steenbruggen, managing director of Museum Belvedère in Heerenveen: "With his many publications he gave writers, poets, photographers a special platform. They contributed, he connected the dots and he directed it to a organic whole." (kunspuntgroningen website). An inevitable, very slight soiling to the slipcase; otherwise mint.
