This exhibition features our recent publication: Exquisite Horse. Thirty-two contemporary book artists and letterpress printers race to the finish in this collaborative exquisite corpse project from the Silver Buckle Press. As with our 1992 A Printer's Exquisite Corpse publication, Exquisite Horse combines the efforts of printers from across the USA Each artist designed and printed one hundred copies of a section (head or tail) of a quadruped, with the specifications that the parts would meet in the middle and that letterpress would be used, at least in part, to execute the print. The result--a la the Surrealists--is a delightful body of work. Prints are housed in a multi-colored drop-spine box measuring 16 x 11.75 x 1" when closed, with the inner tray divided by a wall that separates the head and tail parts. The displayed prints may be arranged and reconfigured to create hundreds of combinations.
X Horse is an exquisite exemplar of contemporary printing!
From an edition of one hundred, sixty copies are available at $850.00 each.
