Identifier: CC-27492-28540
Scope and Contents

Four Russian and four German artists took part in this book project. Each artist made five lithographs, so that there are 40 in the book; some are hand colored. The prints were made from self-chosen texts from the other country. The prints were horizontally divided such that the texts and images can be mixed from the top to bottom by the viewer. The covers are black & white photographs of the doors of a passenger train. Most of the contributions are accompanied by printed handwritten texts. Note that Daniil Charmes listed in this book is also spelled as Daniel Kharms; both spellings are listed as contributors. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Was Here / McVarish, Emily., 2001

 Item
Identifier: CC-36707-38523
Scope and Contents

The text, using a great variety of typefaces, is presented in a fashion similar to "Un Coup de Des" by Stephane Mallarme but with addition of illustrations. The images feature a European trade show with industrial products, participants in crowds or individuals and an unknown European city. The protagonist is an anonymous, silhouetted man whose image is repeated throughout the book. The text is mysterious and poetic and the reader can only surmise "the soft edge and the faded generality." Emily McVarish wrote, designed and printed the book in San Francisco. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
