Kaldewey Press 83. – One of ten deluxe copies (total print run of 45) in this beautiful leather binding and featuring an extra suite of blue metal and wood prints on Japanese paper. Each sheet is numbered and stamped with a Chinese seal; the first sheet is signed by the artist. – The colophon is signed and numbered by the artist-publisher. – The transparent hemp paper used in this Kaldewey edition was handmade by the Berlin papermaker Gangolf Ulbrich. The texts and illustrations were printed in various shades of blue. Two decades later, Gunnar Kaldewey decided to realize the joint project and selected texts from John Cage’s »Lecture on Something« and »For the Birds«. – »This is a very personal book. In the early 90’s I met John Cage many times and he came to our house in Manhattan to look at the artist books I had done so far. We agreed to make a project together with the working title ›Observations on Zen‹, but John said he needed time to gather ideas. Then, he suddenly died in 1992 and I have always been saddened that nothing was finalized.« (G. Kaldewey).
The spine of the book is faded. Unfortunately, the yellow leather of the covers has some light foxing spots.
