LOT 3113
WHISTLER, James Abbott McNeill. Whistler v. Ruskin. Art & Art Critics. London: Chatto & Windus, 24th December 1878. First edition, 12mo (189 x 141mm.) (Mild toning, variable leaf size.) Original brown wrappers (spine seam splitting, minor corner creasing). Note: Having sued Ruskin for a bad review that ‘damaged my reputation’, Whistler won the case but was awarded only a nominal farthing. The trial had not, as he hoped, improved his finances or his reputation. He sold his lavish London home and moved to Venice to work on a commission for a series of etchings. But in the development of the modernist aesthetic, the trial was a significant moment.
