Samenvatting
Walasse Ting spent 2 months in Amsterdam: day after day, he made drawings and took photographs of 68 young women recruited on the spot. Back in New York he painted on rice paper the works which are represented in this book This book shows the fascinating juxtaposition of the paintings and the photographs they are based on. Offering a look at Ting's craftsmanship. For instance, while all the models were caucasian, the paintings depict them as asian. Most of the backgrounds, colors, and props were altered in ways that the paintings are only very loosely based on the photos. Most of the paintings/photos are of nudes. Most of the plates all full page, some are double page.

Text in French, English, Danish, Dutch, Spanish, Italian and German.
