Buildings, Sculpture, Paintings, Drawings, Graphics. Deluxe German edition of Naum Gabo's published in 1957, with protective card envelope. Includes original lithograph. 305x240mm, 203 pages, 136 colour and B/W photographs, and magnifying glass in the back cover. Translated from German: "This book presents the first comprehensive presentation of Gabo's work. The content includes Gabo's already published work, previously published material and documents from the historical beginnings of constructivism. The volume also contains a reproduction of the original Russian text (with German translation) of the realistic manifestio published in Moscow in 1920, in which the guiding principles of constructivism were proclaimed. The images are arranged chronologically and include projects for a broadcaster as well as monuments for public buildings in the USSR, stage decorations for a Diaghilev ballet, the competition design for the Unknown Political Prisoner and the gigantic construction for the Bijenkorf in Rotterdam. The originality of the subject matter required the book to be appropriately presented. In addition to more than 100 conventional picture plates (16 of which are in colour), 10 objects are reproduced in a special three-dimensional colour photograph, which can be seen spatially with the help of special glasses in the back."
