Timothy C. Ely is a renowned and enigmatic figure in the book world. His one-of-kind manuscript books combine elaborate and often mysterious painted and drawn folios contained within finely crafted bindings, which are his inventions or variations on traditional binding techniques. For the last 40 years, his books and other works have sprung from a central core of concepts, owing to a fascination with obscure or seemingly incomprehensible forms inspired by science and other projections from the history of the human imagination.Abby Schoolman Books is pleased to present for sale these eight recently completed manuscript books by Timothy C. Ely.Abby Schoolman is a New York-based bookseller specializing in contemporary art bookbinding and artists' books.
