Köln: Gesellschaft für Moderne Kunst / Walther König, 1996-1997. Limited Edition. Oblong folio. Number 193 of 260 copies from the trade edition, SIGNED by Förg; accompanied by illustrated prospectus, also signed. In 1996, Günther Förg became the third recipient, after James Lee Byars and Lawrence Weiner, of the Wolfgang Hahn prize, awarded by the Gesellschaft für Moderne Kunst in Köln. To commemorate the occasion, Förg requested that the Society publish an artist's book based on the watercolors that he'd been developing as interpretations of Ezra Pound's poetry; namely, Alba and similarly condensed poems. For the publication, Förg would further execute a series of interpretative etchings. Clothbound contents: [160] pages, with 28 plates after etchings and an additional 30 plates after watercolors, interspersed with seven of Pound's short poems, printed in both English and German translation. Accompanied by an essay on the process from Reiner Speck. Minor blemish to front panel of blind-stamped cloth boards; near fine. Uncommon, with 5 OCLC records located in North America. This copy accompanied by the 1996 prospectus sent to members of the Society, with oblong portfolio housing three loose gatherings of contents, including a summary of the production history, a detailed colophon, specimens of the text, and full-page reproductions of one etching and one watercolor, the latter SIGNED by Förg to opposite page. Prospectus with cloth spine over thick boards titled in red and blue to front panel, also near fine. Scarce, with only a single OCLC record discovered in Germany.
