Martin Kippenberger - Vom Eindruck zum Ausdruck 1/4 Jahrhundert Kippenberger - Verlag Pikasso's Erben 1979
Martin Kippenberger's second artist's book, published on the occasion of his 25th birthday, as one of the earliest instances of his lifelong project of "extensive self-projection". With all but 2 of the 198 pages blank, the edition of 300 copies was issued along with 93 black-and-white stickers derived from Kippenberger family album photographs; for the first number of signed and numbered copies, Martin Kippenberger affixed the stickers himself throughout the book, but the majority of copies have circulated unsigned, with the stickers loose—and almost always with some number significantly fewer than the total. Pristine copy, unsigned and unnumbered accompanied by 59 of the stickers in perfect condition.

Yves Saint Laurent Haute Couture The Complete Works 1962 - 2002
The 80 collections of the great couturier brought together in an exceptional publication.
Co-published by the Fondation Pierre Bergé - Yves Saint Laurent and Éditions de La Martinière to coincide with the exhibition dedicated to the great couturier, held in Paris at the Musée du Petit Palais in March 2010.
The 80 haute couture collections are presented in 1,283 plates constituting the body of Yves Saint Laurent's complete works, bringing to life the great moments of his creative career. Each garment is represented by a sketch accompanied by a sample of the fabric used to make it. Information is provided on the name of the sewing workshop that made the garment, the model who wore it, the order in which it appeared in the fashion show, and more. More than 15,000 garments are listed in this unique work.
Published in a smaller format (37 × 28.5 cm) than the original (65 × 50 cm) to facilitate distribution, all the plates are reproduced identically and grouped into four boxes, one per decade.
