Number eleven of the CODEX1 Monograph Series. The Timeless Art of Allowing Books to Thrive is a dialogue between two theoretically and existentially divergent proponents of reading-executed in the manner of a conversation. Ulises Carrion's ground-breaking 1975 manifesto "The new art of making books" is here presented with interleaved remarks composed 40 years later by internationally renowned scholar poet and typographer Robert Bringhurst.<BR><br /> <BR><br /> "Carrion's kind of art has not lacked for proponents and exponents in the academy or in the art world but much that has been written along these lines is intellectually murky and burdened with pompous jargon. Carrion himself by contrast was plain-spoken and full of real ideas. My own predilections are different from his and so we disagree on many fronts yet he is lucid and articulate - and therefore someone I can talk to dead or alive." <BR><br /> - from the preface by Robert Bringhurst<BR><br /> <BR><br /> This limited edition of 500 copies was designed and printed by Peter Koch with the assistance of Jonathan Gerken.

"Despite the enormous interest in the works of contemporary studio potters worldwide surprisingly few books explore the best of these works in a large full-color format. Great Pots: Contemporary Ceramics from Function to Fantasy does exactly that. With a focus on The Newark Museum's collection it is both a feast for the eyes and a testament to the power of the pot. Striking images and fascinating commentary demonstrate how a small pot can be a masterpiece and how even the most outrageous sculptural vessels of the 1990s share fundamental meanings with the craft pots of the 1950s. Two hundred color photographs taken especially for this book invite the reader to explore and relish this collection of truly great pots."--BOOK JACKET. GUILD Publishing hardcover books
