John Stezaker

The artist John Stezaker has been collecting photographic images of world cities from the early part of the 20th century for the past thirty years. His interest lies in the anonymous people that appear in these images by chance. Stezaker records and archives these scenes by isolating tiny details of larger images. These sequences of individuals, pairs and groups are the narrative of a large scale project entitled ‘The 3rd Person Archive’. YES collaborated with John and publisher Koenig Books to make an artist book of the project. The book shows each element of the work as 100% scale facsimiles of the original. To exactly reproduce each image a rare six-colour stochastic print process was used. The book is 296 pages, cloth bound with foil blocked typographic details.

I Modi

Wiltshire wittingly combines photographs of various reserved libraries in Rome with silhouettes taken from the erotic drawings by the 16th-century Italian artist Giulio Romano.

Elaine Sturtevant

Elaine Sturtevant, editado por Udo Kittelmann

Elaine Sturtevant construiu uma carreira de 40 anos copiando trabalhos de outros artistas. O livro com papel marmorizado "Sturtevant, author of Quixote" baseia-se no conto de Jorge Luis Borges "Pierre Menard, autor do Quixote", que confunde indiscriminadamente fato e ficção - de um tradutor que "re-cria" o clássico romance de Cervantes.

Since the mid-1960s, American conceptualist Elaine Sturtevant (born 1930) has been using her multidisciplinary practice to mercilessly interrogate the commercial and symbolic value of art and the male-driven art world. Working predominantly from memory, she copies iconic works by male artists such as Andy Warhol, Marcel Duchamp, Joseph Beuys and Frank Stella. Often indistinguishable from the originals, Sturtevant's painting, sculpture, video and photographic facsimiles force thorny issues of replica and simulacra, origin and difference, to a crisis point. Designed in close collaboration with the artist, The Razzle Dazzle of Thinking offers a compilation of Sturtevant's largely unpublished writings, along with a selection of essays on her life and work. Sturtevant and her rigorous, committed conceptual strategy are central to ongoing debates on the concept of originality in contemporary art and beyond.

Sherrie Levine

Sherrie Levine
Flaubert, un Coeur Simple
Gent, Belgium: Imschoot, Uitgevers. 1990

Synopsis: Appropriation artist Sherrie Levine applies her touch to this edition of Gustave Flaubert's Un Coeur Simple. After choosing a typeface and layout for the original text and cover, Levine affixes her own name smartly as the creator of this book. By affirming the fluid authorship of an creation, Levine approaches the implications of a statement by Flaubert, which reads "In the ideal I have of Art, I think that one must not show one's own...Man is nothing, the work of art everything."
