It is … it isn’t …

Barry, Robert

Paris: Yvon Lambert, 1972. 8vo in white softcover wraps printed in black and white. Unpaginated.

A conceptual artists’ book consisting of two halves, where the first half explores adjectives that may be, and the second adjectives that may not be. The minimalistic layout, typeset in Helvetica, features a single adjective followed by a comma centered in the middle of the page creating a delicate rhythm that carries the reader from beginning to end.

Very reminiscent of Bernardo Salcedo ‘what is it ? qué es ?’ published a year earlier in 1971.

Light yellowing to covers, else fine. Item #25
