Legend I / II

Daniel Buren

Legend I / II

description

A massive two volume, slipped cased compendium of images. Text from cover of volume I :

"This is a book of photographs taken in over a hundred stations of the Paris metro. Each photograph is centered on a billboard and in the upper right-hand corner of each billboard vertical white and coloured (blue) stripes are noticeable..."

Second volume repeats similar pattern, only color is now orange. While images in both volumes are in black-and-white only, rendering the distinction in colors within the two volumes conceptual, under the front end flap in each volume a sample of Buren's colors are hidden within. Texts in English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish.
