The information below was taken from the the Hammond's documentation in this book: This is a book of sixty-four postage stamps. They were inspired by the stamps of Monaco. Each postage stamp is based on a unique, large-scale oil painting I made between 1993 and 2001. These sixty-four paintings comprise the complete "John Ashbery Collaboration." The paintings were inspired by titles created by the poet at my request. There is one stamp for each painting. The stamps were created in 2004 and 2005. The stamps are digitally printed on an Epson Stylus Photo 2200 with archival inks on Hahnemuhle's "Natural White" paper. They are hand cut. The book is made of Speckletone's neutral ph "Madero" and "Natural" papers, neutral ph bookboard, cotton thread and silk bookcloth. There are six of these books plus two artist's proofs. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
