At first glance, this appears to be the most complete monograph of Frey’s work; however, that’s not entirely true. This book does cover more of Frey’s projects than Koenig’s brief book, ALBERT FREY, but both books contain coverage that is not included in the other. In some cases, the coverage in Koenig’s book is better, or at least provides detail that isn’t included in Rosa’s book. Several photographs in Koenig’s book are printed in color, which, considering the importance of color in Frey’s work, is very helpful. The photos in this book are all duotone, which is the reason I gave it four stars. One notable difference is the way Frey’s output is discussed: Rosa discusses Frey’s work as the evolution of an approach; whereas Koenig covers the work chronologically, but doesn’t consider any overall evolution.
