Dieter Roth and Richard Hamilton, Interfaces

Basel, Roths' Verlag, 1989. Collaborative artists' book by Dieter Roth and Richard Hamilton printed in two joined volumes and housed in a rubber stamped cardboard slipcase. Sewnbound book, 17 x 11.1 cm, 128 pp. Slipcase, 17.7 x 11.3 cm.

The original edition size was 500, with 50 signed and numbered copies, but a major part was destroyed due to bookbinding defects. Eventually only a few copies were distributed mostly among friends of the artists. This is a rare hors de commerce copy, signed on the slipcase in pencil ‘Der Verleger’ (the publisher, aka Dieter Roth)’, and stamped with the authenticating text: 'Interfaces, nur echt mit diesem Stempel & Signatur des Verlegers auf dem Pappgehäuse! Hors de Commerce.’ Very good copy.
