Karin’s Choice: This is a visual and literary masterpiece. David Hockney’s vibrant sketches and Stephen Spender’s prose capture a China that was just beginning to open up to the West in the early 80s. It’s a fascinating ‘Treasure’—the colors are as bright as the day it was printed, making it a centerpiece for any art lover’s library. Kindly note that the price is negotioble.
