Walked right in!-A Typographical Circus Schwarze Kunst / Edition Klaus Raasch; Hamburg, Germany; 1990 Artist: Klaus Raasch Printer: Klaus Raasch Binder: Buchbinderei Steinkuhl GmbH, Hamburg Contact: www.edition-klaus-raasch.de Twelve two-color typographic prints, set by hand in both metal and wood type, with ornaments from the collection of the Schwarze Kunst print workshop. BFK-Rives-Bëtten paper, 13 pages. Edition of 30. With simple typographic elements and reduced to the classical colors of red and black, Klaus Raasch creates a dense, lively scene, which leaves much to the imagination of the viewer. The letters are the main actors, who become animals, jugglers and acrobats. Artur Dieckhoff and Klaus Raasch founded the printing studio Schwarze Kunst in 1984. They have produced numerous books, broadsides, portfolios and posters with original graphics — often in collaboration with other artists and authors. Raasch also produces artists' books and bibliophilic editions for publishers, galleries and museums. | |||
