About this Item
89×169 cm (full spread). Bi-folding leporello (vertical and horizontal). Danish. Breath-taking photobook / artists book by photographer Flemming Arnholm and poet Klaus Rifbjerg. Very unusual design allowing for multiple readings and permutations. A truly hip object, excellent late 60s NYC vibe. This photobook could be included in a category of innovative book designs. The book unfolds in different ways and directions: one of the central panels unfolds vertically whereas the lateral panels unfold horizontally, allowing for different combination and juxtaposition of pictures. The panels can also be unfolded in ways that allow the book to take different geometric forms and to become a photobook-sculpture This book is the result of the collaboration of the largely unknown photographer Flemming Arnholm and the poet Klaus Rifbjerg. Flemming Arnholm went to New York in 1968 where he wrote articles and reviews on photography for a Danish photo magazine. In New York he met and interviewed Richard Avedon, Karsh, Irving Penn and other star photographers. During that period he shot the photos of New York street scenes, which were reproduced for this book together with Rifbjerg s poems. The book was then arranged by Michael Malling (who did several outstanding and award winning graphic designs for books published by Rhodos) and the result was this highly unusual photobook. It was chosen as one the 28 most important Danish photo books for the catalogue and exhibition 28 Danish Photographic Books , in 2006, in connection with exhibition The Open Book by The Hasselblad Centre in 2004. [biblio: New York Photobooks, 2016] condition: Some minor blemishes along the edges. Light discolouration of some panels. In Very Good overall condition. Seller Inventory # ABE-1634405696659
