Book 512
Masterpieces of Illumination (Codices illustres): The world’s most famous illuminated manuscripts 400 to 1600
Ingo F. Walther and Norbert Wolf
Taschen 2005
This edition, part of Taschen’s 25th anniversary series of reissues, is a stunning overview of history’s most glorious illuminated manuscripts. While a downside of the book is that it is mostly concerned with Western manuscripts (there are some examples from the Middle East), the book provides examples from over 450 works. With book details, brief histories, and 2 to 4 high quality scans from each work, this is an excellent historical journey of some of the most beautiful books that have ever been made.

"Darth Vader is the bad father.
Ben Kenobi is the good father.
Star Wars came out of my desire to make a modern fairy tale. Fairy tales are how people learn about good and evil and how to conduct themselves in society."
- George Lucas
for The Star Wars Archives: 1977–1983 - Episodes IV-VI 40th Anniversary Edition by Paul Duncan for TASCHEN

It’s Feral Friday!
This week we’re taking a look at Taschen: Oliver Payne & Nick Relph. This beautifully designed exhibition catalog was printed by Busch Druck Medien Verlag (Bielefeld, Deutschlan) and published by Kerber Verlag in New York in 2004. It accompanied the exhibition Oliver Payne & Nick Relph, which was presented by the National Museum of Art (Oslo) and the Musee d'Art Moderne (Paris) the same year. Designed by graphic designer and artist Halvor Bodin, the text was authored by Payne & Relph in collaboration with curator Hans Ulrich Obrist, Andrea Kroknes (Senior Curator of the National Museum), and Sune Nordgren (director of the National Museum at the time).
Oliver Payne & Nick Relph are a British artist duo who internationally exhibited film, video, & installation works from 1999 until 2009. Their practice��grappled with themes of cultural identity, subcultures (such as skater, gaming, and DIY cultures), and corporate imperialism. This publication is particularly interesting within the context of our collection because it juxtaposes the design language of Fine Press movement forerunners like the Kelmscott Press with the lo-fi aesthetics of early internet & DIY culture and advertising, bringing the principles of the Arts & Crafts movement into critical conversation with the aesthetic and cultural landscape of our time.
In their early video work Driftwood (a "psycho-geographical tour of London"), Payne & Relph call to 'smash the symbols of the Empire in the name of nothing but the heart's longing for grace.' They demonstrate this ethos by gaming information and cataloging systems through their choice of the title Taschen, the moniker of one of the most ubiquitous and celebrated publishers of art books, thereby hacking their way into in a realm where artists working in new media and experimental art were rarely represented.

We love good comics, and that's why we love good editions from great publishers.
mod
Everyone should make a comic about their sexual obsession, well for some it would be really short, but for others it would be the nightmare of the moral guardians!
Please describe the content of the comic you envisage creating.
It is also only possible with simple means without real images only in their imagination. Here is a little guide
Think of it as an advertisement for something really crazy...... from the era of anarchist comics.

Between 2009 and 2011 Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer, himself a former student of the master, published what is the most comprehensive account of Frank Lloyd’s Wright work: a three-volume collection of all of FLW’s works and projects with some 1,500 pages of crisp reproductions of his drawings, plans and sketches as well as countless photographs of every single built project. In 2015 a condensed and scaled-down edition of this magnum opus was published by its original publisher Taschen with still more than 500 pages showcasing FLW’s most important works. Again the book includes a wealth of drawings and plans from the Taliesin Archives which demonstrate Wright’s incredible drawing talent as well as his most significant contribution to modern architecture: the ability to embed his architecture in site, landscape and therefore nature. This organic understanding of architecture still fascinates today, especially when studying his plans and drawings.
In view of its content and price point the present volume is a must-have for anyone interested in Frank Lloyd Wright and keen to know why he is considered one of the 20th century’s most important architects.

Book 500
Still Life: Still Life Painting in the Early Modern Period
Norbert Schneider
Taschen 1999
Here we are—book 500. Not surprising that it should land on a book from my favorite publisher.
I love a good still life. I don’t know why. Although it probably has something to do with geometry. Or maybe fruit.
