About the Item
SAMARAS, Lucas. Book, New York: Pace Editions, 1968. Unusual book/object of 11 color silkscreens with offset, embossing, thermography, die-cut and collage mounted on masonite. Each page measuring 10 x 10 3/16"
Copy 46 of a total edition of 100. Numbered and initialled by the artist on the cover. Interesting comment on the traditional book. Samaras plays on the most sculptural books of all - chilren's pop-up books. Here the pop-ups, cut-outs, and menacing rhymes, however give a biting edge to his commentary. Book also displays the beautiful effects of color patterning for which Samaras is so well-known.

A tribute to the music of Thelonios Munk, Willisau 1986.
By Niklaus Troxler
Located in New York, NY
Troxler, Niklaus. A tribute to the music of Thelonios Munk, Willisau 1986. Poster. P 166.
Offset lithograph. 50 3/8 x 35 5/8"
Niklaus Troxler's jazz poster, 'A Tribute to the Music of Thelonious Monk' elegantly combines typography and color to create a portrait of the great jazz pianist and his music. The typography outlines the recognizable silhouette of Monk's head in text of blue, red, and yellow, the colors of of his home state North Carolina. The rhythm that is created by the changing color of the words as they pulse around the profile evokes the tempo of his playing, while the deep blue background suggests the roots of his music.
