Perneczky, Geza

About this Item

Cologne: Geza Perneczky, 1987. Staple-bound softcover. 30 pages. Edition unknown. Near fine, but for minor corner wear to covers. Tan stiff staple-bound paper covers with white, yellow and red ribbons incorporated into the bindings. Perneczky's signature and personal blind stamp "By Geza Perneczky with one's own hand" is on the first page while the rubber stamped address of Perneczky is on the back cover. A color photograph of the 19th volume of the The Story of the Colourful Ribbons is pasted on to the last page. "The Story of the Colourful Ribbons is a series of books designed not the same as Gutenberg". The publication documents the bookmaking project The Story of the Colourful Ribbons which consisted of a series of 24 conceptual book objects made from wood, cardboard and ribbons, created from 1987 to 1994. Instead of text various ribbons are threaded through the book in different rhytmic patterns and structures, thus spinning a kind of story.
