Nat Tate. American Artist: 1928-1960

First edition; April 1998. Hardback in dust jacket. 71pp. Illustrated throughout. Slight bump to tail of spine with some creasing to jacket. Otherwise a fine copy. *** First printing of William Boyd’s biography of the artist Nat Tate: ‘an abstract expressionist who destroyed “99%” of his work and leapt to his death from the Staten Island ferry. His body was never found.’ The book turned out to be a hoax.
