Paul Eluard Любовь Love St. Petersburg 1995 312 x 178 mm Edition: 50. Copy no. 30/50 |
Love is a collection of poetry by the French communist poet Paul Eluard, pseudonym used by Eugène Émile Paul Grindel (1895–1952). Karasik printed the text in offset print on six folded-sheets of white paper (24 pages). There are no illustrations, but the pages are cut into the shape of an upper woman’s torso, with holes as nipples. When opened they show the full women’s torso. The sheets are bound with a cord in double card covers of red and blue colour including an appendix of the original French text. The 50 copy edition has two versions for the folder/slipcase: 1) a folder with laces; 2) a lithographed slipcase.
