NIESSEN·&·DE·VRIES
OBSERVE:All photographs in this book were taken bij Auke de Vries (sculptor, 1937 NL well-known for his sculptures in public space) between 1995 and 2005 as sketches for his work. These photographs - a selection from his photo archives.
COLOUR:Unlike an earlier booklet containing black and white photographs by De Vries, this publication is very colourful. This is because colour has played an ever more important role in Auke de Vries’s work. 16 different colours were distilled from the photographs and randomly used as a background for the photos.
EIGHT·COVERS:Eight·covers: The books are sold sealed in order to protect them. To offer a glimpse of the content each package comes with one of the 8 different photographs.
A photo book done my the Dutch design studio, it is so easy to see how everything they do is done for a reason, and it is so handy that they explain why they have done each thing as well. Such as the colours used for the background pages of the photographs, it is to show how the use of colour was very important for the photographer, so 16 colours from the photographs themselves have been used as the backgrounds.
