JONAS YIP: CATALOG
These are the complete catalogs of my more extensive series, where you'll find a much larger selection than can be shown on either my main website or my gallerists' websites. I will add more work here as necessary, but for most work you'll still want to visit jonasyip.com
As a bonus, this is where you can see the source material for every one of the Thirty Three + a Third images. Just hit "SHOW SOURCE".
Thirty Three + a Third and Shan Shui: Landscapes Revisited are both available through Susan Spiritus Gallery.
