Description
Braun, Volker Penal Colony. With 7 signed original etchings by Strawalde. Berlin, Edition Galerie auf Zeit, 2007. Large folio. Original cloth binding (slightly bumped). One of 40 numbered copies, signed by the author and the artist. – “Capital is gaining in self-confidence,” so begins Braun’s wide-ranging, highly topical, poetic summary of the failure of both an all-encompassing claim to power and a concrete utopia. Braun links the historical situation with Kafka’s probing question regarding the true purpose of our existence. Strawalde, the painter of abstract-concrete works and the graphic artist of ciphers, has found appropriate images for the iron thorn that pierces the forehead (V.B.). The result is an artist’s book featuring the text, typeset by hand, in its most enigmatic form.” (From the accompanying leaflet for the book launch). – A very clean copy. With 7 signed original etchings by Strawalde. Original canvas binding (slightly bumped). – One of 40 copies signed by the author and artist. – Very clean copy.
