Erik Desmazières
Le Magasin central des imprimés
Suite of seven etchings with aquatint & roulette, 2013, contained in a cloth album with etched étiquette. Signed, titled, dated & numbered.
The suite was commissioned by les Amis de la Bibliothèque nationale de France(BnF) to both document and celebrate the cavernous stacks, the storage area designed by Henri Labrouste in the 19th century, now emptied of all books in preparation for a major renovation. The artist was able to faithfully transcribe the architecture of the space, while transforming it into a dramatic visual vernacular unmistakably his own.
Edition of 75: 50 ex. (numbered 1-50) sold en suite with frontispiece; 25 ex. (numbered 51-75) sold separately, excluding the frontispiece.
Suite: $7,500 / Individual impressions @ $1700
