Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"The most poignant are the ones of decomposing elephants where, over time, as they disintegrate, the bones form magnificent sculpture - sculpture which is not just abstract form but has all the memory traces of life, despair and futility." - Francis Bacon on Peter Beard's photographs"
From the Publisher
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, form Beard's meticulous handwriting and old-master-inspired drawings to stones and bones and bits of animals pasted to the page. Features of the Art Edition: * Limited to 2,250 individually numbered copies, each signed by Peter Beard * Comes with a specially fabricated wood book stand * XXL-Format: 34.5 x 50 cm (13.4 x 19.7 in.) * Main book: 200 pages of diaries and 294 pages of collages + 5 fold-outs
* Original essay by photo critic Owen Edwards * Companion volume: PB2 image index with captions for all images from main book, personal photos and early work of the artist, interview with the artist by Steven M. L. Aronson, a facsimile reprint of Beard's 1993 handwritten essay on photography from the sold-out first issue of Blind Spot magazine, extensive bibliography, and a list of exhibitions * All color illustrations are color-separated and reproduced in Pan4C, the finest reproduction technique available today, which provides unequalled intensity and color range

This is the best photographic book every printed. I bought two, because one day they will be worth a lot of money. Try and get one for yourself, and keep it in pristine condition as part of you superannuation fund.

Tears,
This review is from: Peter Beard: Art Edition, Signed and Numbered from 251 to 2500 (Taschen Artist's Edition) (Hardcover)
As I started to leaf through this epic; tears welled in my eyes; Tears for the the art, tears for the subject, tears for the artist and tears of joy.
The destruction of life has never been so beautiful. Peter Beard is one of few artists whose life is art, in the truest sense.
