Cloning for Yellow
Zürich: Seedorn Verlag, 1984. First edition of 250, of which this is no. 95. Saddle-stapled 8vo in self-wrappers, with uncut signatures. Printed in red, blue, yellow, and green. Unpaginated [16 pp.].
Artists’ book by Robert Lax featuring small, abstract, hand-drawn marks arranged in two four-by-three grids stacked vertically on each page. Each grid of twelve markings explores varying arrangements of red, blue, yellow, and green, ultimately arriving at yellow as the final marking. An analog, systematic, and delightful exploration of sequential color logic by Lax.
Artifact Vibration Score: 8.3.
Trace amounts of rubbing to covers, including two small stains at front cover and one at rear, darkening along right margin, and offset toning from Lax’s signature in ink at opposing page. Very good. Item 1304.
