The Last Cosmology (Special Edition, Signed).
London: MACK, 2015. Special Edition. Tall quarto. SIGNED in gold marker to front cover of the slipcase and numbered 8/150. Deluxe MACK issue of this collection of divinatory photographs from acclaimed Japanese photographer Kikuji Kawada; originally published in parts in the 1980s. "Inspired by the apocalyptic sky-scapes of the painter Emil Nolde, Kawada photographed abnormal and calamitous weather conditions -- gales that configure coiling cloud-patterns, electrical storms, or rain striking glass. Captured between 1980 and 2000, the work is part of ‘The Catastrophe Trilogy’, a chronicle which ties together the dramas of the skies with the end of two historical eras on earth: the Showa Era in Japan, ending with the death of the Emperor in 1989, and 20th century’s close" - MACK. Fine in illustrated wrappers in a fine slipcase with original inkjet print tipped to front cover.
