Neu/sofort versandbereit - auf Lager - Aufl. 2006, - This most elaborate artist book by Gabriel Orozco examines allpossible permutations within a self-defined spatial and colorsystem based on the 'Knight's move' (or as the artist expressesthe 'Samurai's move') within a game of chess. In each, a circle isdrawn in the centre, and moving out from this point, a sequenceof increased or decreased circles is drawn, until the limits ofthe square is reached.Gabriel Orozco has done a series of 672 digital prints due tothese rules, 50 x 50 cm each, calculating all the possible movements and variations. He spells them out by extending them in space. By these simple visual means and rules the artist achieves an almost incomprehensible compexity. This book shows all the 672 resulting images - in White, Red, Blue and Gold.Gabriel Orozco designed the cover as a new artwork referring tothe series of prints - by silk-screen printing the colors becomethree-dimensional and bright contrasting with an unusualsoftness and plasticity.Gabriel Orozco first launched his The Samurai Tree series atthe Venice Biennale in 2005.Sprache: Deutsch, Englisch, Französisch, Spanisch 676 pp. Deutsch.
