BUREN, Daniel (né en 1938). Passage. Macerata : Artestudio, 1972.

Édition originale de cet élégant livre d'artiste. Le titre de l'ouvrage décrit sa réalisation : les sept volumes, chacun dédié à une couleur, sont composés de planches dont l'intensité dépend du nombre de passage des pages sous les presses. Celles situées au début des volumes n'ont subi qu'un passage, et présentent les couleurs les moins intenses, tandis que les dernières planches sont le fruit de nombreux passages et ainsi, sont bien plus éclatantes.

"Buren's Passage is seven large bound volumes in a slipcase, all beautifully made. Each volume is a different color and the first page of each has been printed, or passed through the press once. The second pages have been passed through twice, and so forth, until at the end of each volume, the color saturation on the stripes is quite intense. At the start of the book, the colors are extremely weak -barely distinguishable from the white of the page between the stripes. This is a work which has been worked out very thoughtfully and with great finesse" (Art-Rite 14, 1976).

7 vol. in-folio carré (521 x 521 mm). Chaque volume comprend un nombre variable de lithographies originales, comme autant de "passages" de sept couleurs différentes, une par volume: bleu (32 planches), jaune (39 planches), noir (25 planches), orange (29 planches), rouge (26 planches), vert (31 planches) et violet (33 planches). Chaque planche est composée de trois bandes de couleur verticales (largeur 88 mm), l'intensité de la couleur allant du plus diffus au plus prononcé au fil du volume.Tirage unique à 110 exemplaires.
Les volumes sont réunis dans leur étui d'éditeur (quelques usures et brunissures aux couvertures, salissures et usures à l'étui,étuifendu).

First edition of this most elegant artist book, with more than 200 original lithographs by Buren.
