ALEXANDER KORZER-ROBINSON ORIGINAL FS, by origo on Oct 25, 2013 9:04:57 GMT 1, Have this wonderful bookcut piece from Alexander for sale titled 'The Boyยดs Own Annual 1891'.
Itยดs a cut 19th century children's book and I am looking for 500 GBP incl. shipping. His pieces usually go for 600+ and this is one of his best.
29 x 22 x 5cm
Artist statement:
'By using pre-existing media as a starting point, certain boundaries are set by the material, which I aim to transform through my process. Thus, an encyclopedia can become a window into an alternate world, much like lived reality becomes its alternate in remembered experience.
These books, having been stripped of their utilitarian value by the passage of time, regain new purpose. They are no longer tools to learn about the world, but rather a means to gain insight about oneself.
I make book sculptures / cut books by working through a book, page by page, cutting around some of the illustrations while removing others. The images seen in the finished work, are left standing in their original place.'
