About This Item
(Zurich): (Scalo Verlag), 2005. First Edition. Very good +.. Collection of photographs of balls taken by the avant-garde Swiss photographer Jakob Tuggener, which he originally arranged into a maquette for a book that was never published, published on the occasion of the traveling exhibition of the same name in Switzerland. This edition, based on the maquette, is true to his wish for a "pure photo book without text," with critical essays only in the included booklet. An impressive work of the European photographic avant-garde. Hardcover. Tall 4to. Gilt-paper-covered boards with photo print to front. 30-page, 8vo. accompanying booklet of English text laid in. A very good plus, ex-library copy, with stamps to front and rear pastedowns, and no other markings. Light bumps to edges of boards, else unmarred, clean and sharp overall. Unpaginated.
