Description:
Many illus. Unpaginated. Four vols. Large 4to (280 x 215 mm.), orig. gray printed wrappers, titles on spines, housed in publisher's cardboard box with orig. printed labels on outside & inside. Köln: Buchhandlung Walther König, 1992. The scarce facsimile of On Kawara's I Went, I Met, I Read, and Journal series for the year 1969, published by Walther König on the occasion of Kawara's receiving the Kunstpreis Aachen. Kawara (29,771 days, i.e., 1932-2014) centered his artistic practice on the documentation of daily life: where he went, the people he met, and what he read. These notes were then compiled into three unique sets of binders. By the end of these pieces, I Met (1968-79) and I Went (1968-79) amounted to 4772 pages in 24 binders, and I Read (1966-95) totaled 3272 pages in 18 binders. Kawara's Journal filled 48 volumes, recorded from 1966 to 2013. The present volumes reproduce Kawara's life in 1969, which he spent in Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia, Manaus, Panama City,… Read More
