vol. 7 Mitch Epstein photographs Siddharta Deb text Pierre Charpin case The author describes the daily life of two students at the University of Calcutta who come from very different social backgrounds, which they are both trying to escape from. The minute detail in which the author records their physical and mental movements and every change in mood finds its resonance in the refined prosaic nature of Mitch Epstein’s photographs. Pierre Charpin designed a traycase with a blue lacquered lid as an echo of the photographer’s strong emphasis on color and his ties with the Memphis movement. The text is fractured into seven modules, each contained within a uniform yellow form whose outlines recall the design of the casing. Mitch Epstein Mitch Epstein was born in 1952 in Holyoke, Massachusetts. His is one of the pioneers of color photography in the United States. His photos have been exhibited in numerous institutions throughout the world and form part of such prestigious collections as the Metropolitan Museum, New York, the MOMA and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. To this day he has had five books published: Recreation: American Photographs 1973-1988 (Steidl, 2005), Family Business (Steidl, 2003), The City (powerHouse Books, 2001), Vietnam: A Book of Changes (Norton/DoubleTake, 1996), Mitch Epstein: Work (Steidl, 2006). Siddharta Deb Siddharta Deb was born in 1970 in North East India. His first novel, The point of return, was selected as Book of the Year by The Times Literary Supplement and The New York Times. His last novel, An Outline of the Republic (published in England and India as Surface) has just been published in paperback. He has written on India for the Boston Globe, the Columbia Journalism Review and the Guardian. Pierre Charpin A graduate of L’Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Bourges, Pierre Charpin is known for his atypical designs charged with a strong plasticity, making him one of the leading figures in the avant-garde of French design. In tandem with his limited editions, and prototypical studies, he collaborates with various companies as Post Design, Zanotta, Montina, Venini, Alessi… He was awarded Designer of the Year at the Furniture Salon in Paris 2005.

Paolo Gasparini
La Llave de la Carretera, 2012
4101-BK

9 5/8 x 13 1/8 in. (24.5 x 33.5 cm)

vol. 25 Paolo Gasparini photographs José Agustin text Normal Studio case In «La Llave de la Carretera,» José Agustin evokes the work of Gasparini, taking up the same politically-engaged writing in this parable on greed. We follow the inner dialogue of a Mexican in his eighties, a millionaire, obsessed by sex, about to take to the road. He is on his way to Ciudad Juarez to steal an Aztec mask of inestimable value from his twin brother. Here Agustin is openly mocking the instability of powerful Mexican families, and along the way, poking fun at the trauma of having lost part of its territory to the USA… Jean-François Dingjian and Eloi Chafaï, better known under the name Normal Studio, the agency they created in 2006, have designed a container made out of a solid block of aluminum and mirror polished, a direct reference to the curvaceous forms of the cars featured in Paolo Gasparini’s photographs. Each work contains 4 diptychs made of two prints, opposite each other, with the shape of a creek cut out of the text block.

7 3/8 x 20 in. (19 x 51 cm)

Collaboration with Clemens-Tobias Lange. Two volumes, bound in linen and silk with iron spine, housed in a wooden slipcase.

Published by CTL-Presse, Hamburg.

Each of the two volumes begins with excerpts from letters by Catalino (in Spanish with English translation), written from 1987–1994. Volume One tells of the hardships of farm life and the devastating effects of a hurricane. The images show daily life on the fields and in the small town of Tekit. Volume Two concerns the day’s fiesta, anticipating it in the letters, and the mixture of culture identification through photographs of processions, dances, and bullfights. The semi-transparent pages with Köhler’s photographs were printed in a darkroom on gelatin-coated Kozo Japanese paper handmade by the photographer in his Paper Bridge Mill in Gifu. 25 regular copies numbered 1–25 and 10 e.a. numbered 26–35. This copy is a special publisher’s copy, unnumbered.

Jannis Kounellis
La via del sangue, 1973
4103-BK

5 7/8 x 4 3/8 in. (15 x 11 cm)

Seven burnt Italian wood matches, each mounted on the singed page annotated with a day of the week of the event, Monday through Sunday.
Published by Galleria La Salita, Rome.
Kounellis created this book in conjunction with an exhibition titled “Apollo” at the Galleria La Salita in Rome in 1973. During the course of a week, he came to the gallery daily and struck a match and mounted it onto paper, noting the day on the page. The artist often introduces temporal elements—fire, smoke, or ash—into his work. The simple act of striking a match to mark each day of the week suggests a ritualized cultural or religious expression, even one of penitence. In this instance, Kounellis is indirectly invoking Apollo, known as the god of light and the sun. Fine condition in publisher’s printed slipcase. Signed on flyleaf. Edition #199 of 250 copies.

Christian Megert
Glasbuch (Glass book), 1972
5892-BK

16 1/2 x 11 3/4 in. (42 x 30 cm)

Four thick mirrored glass panes serve as ‘pages’ of the book. The exterior cover of the book is toned in black, with the title screenprinted in white on front cover. Bound with black tape spine. Published in a proposed edition of 100 copies, signed by Megert in silver marker pen on the front cover.

Mirror works comprise the fundamental pictorial element in Christian Megert’s oeuvre since the late 1950s. Megert uses mirrors as reflectors of light and movement in the manner of Zero art; they dissect space and give way to monochrome worlds of colour. In the Glasbuch, with its pages composed of mirrored glass, Megert even goes a step further: he mirrors the mirrors in his compositions, thus enclosing the viewer in the reflecting mirrors and releasing him into a seemingly infinite space. In this way, Megert creates countless multiplying possibilities of new pictorial spaces and realities, without beginning and end - a theory the artist first posited in his manifest 'Ein neuer Raum' (1961), which proclaimed a passable room without borders made possible through the mirror.

Thomas Ruff
Inspecteur des Sous -Sols, 2009
3332-BK

VOL. 17 Thomas Ruff photographs Fabio Morabito text Barber & Osgerby case In Underground Inspector, writer Fabio Morabito gives his take on the relationship enjoyed by East and West Germany before the fall of the Berlin Wall, with the distance and peculiar poetry that characterize his prose. He describes the daily life of an East Berlin underground inspector, a philandering husband forced by his profession – and his incontinence – to repeatedly walk across the Wall underground, since “the subsoil knows no political frontier”. After the fall of the Wall, the inspector vanishes, leaving nothing behind him save eight photographs that picture his mistresses’ homes. In order to build a perfectly smooth, airtight steel plank that mirrors the no-way-out constructions photographed by Thomas Ruff, Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby borrowed a process from the automobile industry that enabled them to machine the aluminium with the precision of a micron. Thomas Ruff Thomas Ruff was born in 1958 in Zell am Harmersbach, Germany, one of six children. He has become a leading figure in contemporary art. His personal style of photography is characterized by a distancing from the subject, in particular in the series of portraits that became known internationally and in which he has photographed his family and friends, always taken in frontal view on eye level. His work has been exhibited in numerous museums and galleries, among which the Chabot Museum in Amsterdam and the Zwirner & Wirth Gallery in New York. On the basis of his experience in producing the Portrait Series, Thomas Ruff returned to an idea that had already occured to him while working on the interiors : to shoot the exteriors of buildings. He selected unspectacular, ordinary buildings built between the 1950’s and 1970’s in and around Dusseldorf. To be able to shoot undisturbed, he worked in the early hours of the morning and mostly from January to March, a procedure that allowed him to take advantage of the neutral background of the fequently uniform grey skies at that hour and season in Central Europe. Fabio Morabito Poet, short story writer, essayist and translator, Fabio Morabito was born in 1955 in Alexandria (Egypt) to Italian parents. He lived in Milan until the age of 15 then emigrated to Mexico, where he started writing in Spanish. Considered one of the most original voices in contemporary Mexican literature, he is the author of several short story and poetry collections, including Lotes Baldios (which won the Carlos Pellicer prize in 1995), La vida Ordenada (2000) and Grieta de fatiga (date??), which were all received to critical acclaim. Barber & Osgerby Edward Barber (born in Shrewsbury in 1969) and Jay Osgerby (born in Oxford in 1969) have worked together since meeting as students at the Royal College of Art in 1992. One of their first collaborative projects was the Loop Table, a deceptively simple coffee table with a birch ply top looping around the base, which was produced first by Isokon Plus in the UK, then by Cappellini in Italy. Barber & Osgerby have developed collections for a large number of clients and manufacturers such as Flos, Magis, Cappellini, Coca-Cola, Levi’s , Panasonic, Authentics, Pantone, Swarovski, Venini and Established & Sons, among others. They have also designed furniture for public interior spaces such as The De La Warr Pavilion, the Royal Institute of British Architects and the St. Thomas Cathedral in Portsmouth, England, and sculptural pieces for public spaces including Greenwich Park. Barber & Osgerby’s designs can be found in the permanent collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
