| Peter Beard was published by Taschen in an Art Edition and Collector’s Edition in 2006. Spilling out over the pages of this massive tome, Peter Beard’s collages are reproduced as a group for the first time at the size they have always meant to be seen, many of them as foldouts. Hundreds of smaller-scale works and diaries fill the remaining spreads – magnified to show every detail, from Beard’s meticulous handwriting and Old-Master-inspired drawings to stones and bones and bits of animals pasted to the page. This opulent and beautifully crafted limited edition – complete with wooden stand – is a work of art in itself. The Art Edition is accompanied by a signed by the artist gelatin silver print: Copies No. 1-125 include “Fayel Tall” (1987/2006), edition of 125, 16×20 in., and Copies No. 126-250 include “965 Elephants” (1976/2006), edition of 125, 20×16 in. The Collector’s Edition is limited to an edition of 2,250 copies. |
