KAHLO by Andrea Kettenmann TASCHEN - Leather Covered, Hardback Coffee Table Book

Description: This is my book. I can make one for you, conditioned I can find an edition of the book.This is the original, large size, of Taschen's Basic Art series from the 1990s. The book is second hand and there might be signs of usage. I will make a cover for every title in this series, as I find the original books. It is a beautiful book for your coffee table.Feminist icon, symbol of Mexican culture, political activist, groundbreaking artist: discover the many facets of Frida Kahlo, who transformed the afflictions of her life into unremittingly powerful paintings. In this introduction, Kahlo's body of bold, arresting works are presented alongside her turbulent life to shed light on the audacious face glaring defiantly from her self-portraits.The book is a soft cover which I recycle and transform into a limited edition, personalized hardback with leather cover, designed and made by me. First, I prepare the book by embedding cotton cords into the spine. Adding 2 mm wood boards to the front and back. And reinforcing everything with cloth. To make the cover I use grade A, naturally tanned hide, I buy from a tannery in north Spain. It is the same leather Louis Vuitton uses to make his bags, so it is top quality. I do all the processing of the leather myself. First, I design the cover, and what I did here, for the front, and back, I used Chagal's paintings. Next, I mix leather inks and screen them on the surface of the leather. The inks are partly absorbed by the skin to create a permanent bond. Finally, I coat the leather with protective solution. The leather gives the image a vintage look and beautiful texture, and it will age nicely with time. Inside the front cover. I can print a personal message or a quote from the book.The book is beautiful. Visually it has a very nice texture, it smells great, and the more you handle it the more beautiful it will become. And it makes a great gift for yourself, or somebody who appreciates books. So if you want one, don’t snooze, or you might lose.Book - KAHLO by Andrea Kettenmann TASCHENSize- 12 x 9 inches (31 x 24 cm).Pages - 96If you would like more information about this title, this is the original book's ISBN 9783822805671If you are interested in a different title, send me a message and I will give you a quote.You can see the video of how I make the book cover in the link belowhttps://youtu.be/WUC2lGlsgGEReturns: This is a custom-made item, so returns or exchanges are not accepted.
