Artist's book/Catalog. Published in conjunction with the 1999 exhibition at the Musee d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. Peter Fischli and David Weiss created this special book to accompany their 1999 exhibition at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. It consists of forty unbound photographs from their series Blumen (Flowers, 1997-98) richly colored double-exposures of blossoms, leaves, and raucous vegetal life. "Pursuing the artistic collaboration on which they have worked closely together since 1979, Peter Fischl and David Weiss have spent a year tracking down and photographing countless varieties of flowers, in various stages of blossom, through many country walks. Their project in this recent work is not botanical research, nor have they been follow ing some scientific procedure: their concept is aesthetic. They have in effect been regularly photographing gardens of different kinds for over ten years, and they began this new series focusing on flowers immediately after the garden project they created for Münster in 1997". [84] pp; 27.5 x 19.5 cm. Unbound paperback with the original plastic band. Seller Inventory # 5463-cp-sogg

Store Description

The Studio Bibliografico Giorgio Maffei specialises in original texts by twentieth century visual and literary avant-garde artists. These range from the historic publications produced in the early 1900s, to the Futurist, Dadaist, Abstract and Surrealist volumes which are now considered to be classics, to the subsequent revolutionary techniques of the second half of the century. The bibliographic research already carried out by the Studio Bibliografico offers confirmation of the importance of this area and of the fact that the entire history of modern publishing continues to offer immense research potential in all areas, covering original texts, exhibition catalogues, specialist magazines and in particular artists' books, that fertile terrain which encouraged the meeting and cross- fertilisation of many different art forms.
