This book is published in associaton with Plus One Galleries, the leading dealers in Photorealist art.

5.0 out of 5 stars Long awaited but worth it, 28 Oct 2007
By Josef "Josef" (W/Sussex,England) - See all my reviews
A superb review of a magnificent artist's work to date that illustrates the variety and breadth of Mr. Laubin's talent in dealing with a range of subject's beyond the architectural that he is best known for. A most interesting text by David Watkin makes this a must for anyone interested in the arts.
