| DELUXE EDITION |
| |
By arrangement with the publisher, a special Deluxe Edition of Dave Anderson’s ROUGH BEAUTY is being offered to coincide with the release of the book. This highly original collectors item features a gorgeous hand-made rubber and glass clamshell casing that houses a first edition of ROUGH BEAUTY and an original signed and matted gelatin silver print. Priced beginning at $500, this edition is strictly limited to 50 sets and 5 artist proofs (note: price has increased to $750).
ROUGH BEAUTY, with an introduction and interview by Anne Wilkes
Tucker, is being released by Dewi Lewis Publishing (UK) and Mets
& Schilt (Netherlands). The 120-page hardbound monograph
features 76 duotone images and was printed by EBS, the
world-renowned Italian press located in Verona, Italy.
The Deluxe Edition of ROUGH BEAUTY was created as a collaboration between photographer Dave Anderson, designer Shelli Winter and master bookmaker Craig Jensen of BookLab II. The nitrile rubber clamshell box features an inset kiln-distressed glass window and a grey and black linen interior of interlocking trays with the book title silk-screened to the glass window and exterior rubber spine. The book and matted print are housed within the interior tray.
The use of rubber and imperfect glass in this edition reference
the constant use and visual presence of recycled materials in a
place like Vidor, where resources – both financial and
structural – can be scare.
Each Deluxe Edition comes with a choice of one of four signed and matted original gelatin silver prints. All prints are made by the artist from the original negatives and are archivally printed on fiber base paper and selenium toned. Each print is 7 x 7 and hung in a 10 x 10 4-ply archival matte. The prints are signed on the verso. |
