Josef AlbersEugen GomringerFrance. Dessain Et Tolra. 1972. Second edition. First French edition. Hardcover. With the dust jacket. Text in French. Acceptable in a good dust jacket. This monograph on painter and Bauhaus pioneer Josef Albers was first published in Germany and in the United States in 1968. The French edition followed in 1972. The dust jacket features one of Albers\' famous homage to the square paintings, repeated as a blind debossing on the cloth cover.
There is a stunning picture section with works by Albers - not the usual half-tone reproductions but real silkscreen prints (serigraphs) using individually mixed inks.
The boards appear to have light wear. There is some discoloration to the edges. Internally, gorgeous silkscreens. Clean and bright. A couple of soil spots to one of the silkscreens and one has foxing to the bottom edge. Those are still suitable for framing. Otherwise there is foxing to some of the text pages and tanning. Plate 39, which is not a silkscreen, is loose and is laid in. There is browning to the edge of the pages. Some remnants of what looks like tape to the first free endpaper front and back. The DJ has edgewear and small chips. Tanning. Not price clipped. Now mylar protected. Despite flaws, an incredible book with silkscreen prints.
