magnetic objects, astonishing reads

 

This year from Siglio: two gorgeous artist’s books by Sophie Calle and Troy Montes-Michie, resulting from intimate collaborations with each artist to realize their vision, and an epic durational and conceptual artwork by Richard Kraft—”It Is What It Is”—in a five-volume set. All unusual (and gorgeous) works with much for a reader to plunder.
