Viktor Shvaiko: Journey to the West is an impressive monograph of the artist and his work. Published in a deluxe hand-crafted portfolio, masterfully printed in Barcelona with over 70 color plates, it features an editorial overview by M. Stephen Doherty, Editor-in-Chief of American Artist Magazine.
Shvaiko's jouney is chronicled in his own words, from his childhood days and rigorous art school years in Russia, through his daring departure on foot from the Soviet Union via Yugoslavia, to his arrival and search for artistic recognition in New York City.
The deluxe version of Viktor Shvaiko: Journey to the West is hand-signed in ink by the artist, individually numbered in a limited edition of 950, enclosed in a custom clamshell portfolio case with gold foil stamping, wrapped in fine Italian satin, and lined with premium French paper. Most significantly, the volume is accompanied by these two 7" x 9" signed and numbered lithographs, Bicycle and Troubadour Restaurant.
