Beschreibung
The book fulfils every requirement of a scholarly reference work and is also an informative, easy-to-read monograph on Per Kirkeby's artist books. The catalogue raisonné lists 120 artist books in chronological order, assigning works numbers and specifying the variants, print run, design, signature, numbering, and printer, as well as including an illustration of the cover and distinctive pages from the content. Comments on the occasion and design, as well as notes and quotations from the artist, explain the concept. Per Kirkeby is one of Scandinavia's best-known artists. He was a geologist, traveller, filmmaker, essayist, and poet. Along with an extensive oeuvre of paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints and films, artist's books form an inseparable whole. The result is a reliable, scholarly reference work and, at the same time, a comprehensive, lavishly illustrated, easy-to-read monograph on an eminently important group of works by a painter and poet who was also a passionate bookmaker.
