L'Hiver de L'Amour Bis

Paris. Musee D'Art Moderne. 1994. First Edition. 4to, 96pp. Numerous Colour and Black & White plates. Text in French and English. 2 pieces of epherema inserted- Gray Goo flyer by Dike Blair , and an Ami Garmon booklet from the show. 

Brilliant 1994 book from the exhibition of the same name, curated by Purple magazine titans Zahm and Fleiss. Shows some super Margiela work, Larry Clark, Viktor & Rolf, Inez van Lamsweerde, Dike Blair, Carsten Holler, Alix Lambert, Wolfgang Tillmans, General Idea, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Anders Edstrom etc. So basically an exhibition of what would have appeared in Purple at the time. Design negation at its best.
