L’OPTIQUE MODERNE COLLECTION DE LUNETTES PRESENTE PAR DANIEL SPOERRI … 1963. FLAWED COPY OF THIS RARE BOOK.
£450.00
New York, Editions Fluxus, 1963,
20 x 14cm, 124pp plus pictorial card covers. Artist’s book entitled “Collection de lunettes présenté par Daniel Spoerri avec, en regard, d’inutiles notules par François Dufrène” – translates as “Collection of Daniel Spoerri’s glasses, with useless texts by François Dufrène”. The inner pages are printed in orange and black with each recto page with an image of the artist wearing rather impractical spectacles (such as the famous glasses with long needles on the inside that would puncture the eyeballs if really worn). The 57 photographs were taken by Vera Spoerri and Christer Christian. The typographic cover was designed by George Maciunas.
This is a rare book which normally costs over £1,000 but sadly this copy displays a lot of water damage where the orange colour has leeched onto the photographs on most pages as a result we are offering it at a third of the normal price. Some pages display rippling from the water after it had dried out. Else good.
