This signed and numbered stiff paper print is not numbered, but probably it was part of the 10th Anniversary Hundertmark Edition box issued in 1980.
Ref. Eric Andersen
Jiří Valoch’s works are not of the narrative kind. Basically he presents the reader a few words or a short text and the reader finishes the work as if a verbal puzzle has to be resolved. In all cases it creates relational images in the mind, playing with connotations of the used notions. It is a question of filling in the open space within a group of given data. With this he draws attention to what happens when one is ‘reading’ his given letters or words. In “Eye Piece XIII” the reader makes a sculpture above the print with movements of the eye. KvG

inv.TDez 000-pr
Born in Budapest in 1938 [died in 2019], Dezsö Tandori is a novelist, playwright, translator, and graphic artist, as well as one of Hungary’s most celebrated poets. Brilliantly eccentric, and characterized by an astonishing formal dexterity, these poems address fundamental issues: the effort to establish personal identity in an impersonal world, the conflicting demands — private, social, and historical — that provide the texture of a lived moment, and the necessity of affirmation that finds its locus in the act of writing.

CORINNE VIONNET, Souvenirs d’un glacier, 2019
22 x 33 cm
offset, cover and pages of thick cardboard, 12 pp.
Lumbeck binding
edition 200
published by RRose Editions, Paris, France
Over the years, Corinne Vionnet has collected postcards of the Rhône glacier, spanning almost of century of images. The pictures have all been shot from the same perspective, from an “ideal” spot that reveals the glacier in its archetypal form and the roads that takes visitors there – as is often the case with touristic attractions. It is a pattern of repetition and superposition that Corinne Vionnet explored for instance in her Photo Opportunities series.
