FARBEN by Marc Nagtzaam
with a small exhibition on display until March 20
Saturday March 12, 6pm‘Farben’ is an artists’ book which is the result of an experiment to introduce color in an oeuvre that consists for the most part of variations in black and white. The book is a compilation of various types of drawings; geometric compositions, borrowed from existing book covers, posters, and paintings, numerous line drawings based on erased ‘to-do-lists’, and ‘sketches of drawings’ by Marc Nagtzaam. As with its predecessor ‘Zeichnungen’ Nagtzaam combined his material by printing it in different layers on a Riso duplicator at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht. The result is a careful composition of drawings that became a new work in itself. Printed in a limited edition of 200 copies, numbered and signed.
‘Farben’ is published by Roma Publications
