Arabian Eros is an album of lithographs inspired by

Karasik’s travels to Central Asia in the 1980s. The artist

printed this English album in a 17 copy edition plus 2

supplementary artist proofs. It consists of a title page,

imprint, table of contents and nine colour lithographs

of which two are double page spreads. The titles are

printed opposite the seven full-page lithographs; the

two double-page spreads have the title incorporated in

the composition. The six folded sheets (24 pages) are

bound in greenish brown cardboard covers. The book

is kept in a clamshell box made of cardboard covered

with lithographed paper.
