description

Artist's book / print prospectus. "The 'Prints' catalogue is the result of a collaboration between two Copenhagen printing workshops, showing the prints by Martin Kippenberger that they have published. The catalogue consists of two separate booklets stitchbound to a folded cover.

The first part shows the 15-part lithographic cycle 'The Raft of the Medusa' published by Holstrup-Pedersen & Johansen, and the second part shows '3 Air Blasters' and other etchings by Niels Borch Jensen.

Martin Kippenberger on the cover: 'Recently I was in Copenhagen and made prints. The result pleases me. I hope you share my opinion." -- "Annotated Catalogue Raisonné of the Books by Martin Kippenberger 1977 - 1997." Publication consists of two 16 page interlinked booklets with 5-part folded covers. Kippenberger quote in English, Danish, Spanish, Swedish and German; all other text in English.
