Title: Annie Leibovitz : Archive Project No 1
Description: Los Angeles, CA, Hauser & Wirth, 2019. Softcover. Quarto. Softcover. Japanese stab binding. Natural kraft paper covers. Red paper belly band jacket. Book 1 volume (unpaged) : illustrations ; 31 cm. "The book's Japanese binding allows for the sheer scale of the installation to be translated into print as a continuously flowing narrative that spills over the folds. With eco kraft-paper-covered hardcover panels on the front and back, the publication's materiality foregrounds the idea of the book as a reference tool for the photographer's exhibition. The thin coated paper used within allows the smallest details in Leibovitz's images to crystallize. Running chronologically along a thread-gridded wall that is mirrored in the book's binding, the artist's archive is read at varying scales and different densities, unfolding a rhythmic narrative. At times, the page is almost completely full, while at others, only a handful of photographs dot the spread. The content brought together with a parallel materiality was conceived to reflect a carefully considered and orchestrated translation of an experience and archive into print." -- publisher's statement. VG. Still in shrinkwrap, but there is a minor bump to the front top fore edge board corner.
