(SOLD): CHAN, Theseus. Werk No. 21: Martine Bedin.

Singapore: WORK, 2014. First edition. Limited edition of 1,000 copies. Softcover. 30.5 × 22 cm. 384 pp. Illustrated throughout in colour. English text. The twenty-first issue of Theseus Chan’s experimental visual magazine WERK, this issue conceived in collaboration with French designer Martine Bedin, a founding member of the Memphis design group. A monograph-like publication bringing together an extensive selection of Bedin’s drawings and paintings, with an introductory essay and an interview by Alison Harley tracing her career from the Memphis years onwards. The book’s striking physical design is integral to the project: divided into six sections with individually shaped die-cut edges, the pages form a sculptural, geometric object, with the exposed edges hand-painted in different colours. A near fine condition. Cool book.
