80 Unikat-Büchlein [80 Unique Booklets] : No. 17 Capri bei Nach [Capri by Night]

description

Unique artist's book from series of 80 unique, individually titled, artist's book published as the de luxe edition of Parkett No. 19. Kippenberger's unique book is housed in die-cut, hollowed-out copy of the standard edition of Parkett No. 19.

"A de luxe edition of the art periodical Parkett #19 was published in the form of 80 one-off books by Martin Kippenberger inserted into hollowed-out standard editions of the magazine. Instead of creating one book with different illustrations, he created 80 different book with one and the same illustration on every right-hand page. The visual material used is a blend of snapshots, self-images and photographs of works. The titles of the individual book correspond to the images used in a way that is quite typical of Kippenberger." -- from "Annotated Catalogue Raisonné of the Books by Martin Kippenberger : 1977 - 1997"
