Offered here SEALED under publisher's wraps and in AS NEW condition is Marcel Dzama's “The Berliner Ensemble Thanks You All,” published in 2008 by McSweeney's. The talented Marcel Dzama put together
this follow-up to “The Berlin Years” in a similar fashion to the original, featuring 28 loose-leaf prints of his watercolors along with the book itself, plus a few other goodies. Certain to become a collector’s item, “The Berliner Ensemble Thanks You All” is a necessary addition to any Dzama collection.
From the Publisher: “Five years ago, McSweeney's published Marcel Dzama's The Berlin Years, bringing Dzama's elegant, enigmatic bears, bats, and sexy ladies to a slumbering nation. The first edition of that book was snapped up in a matter of minutes, and same with a second edition a couple years later. We were thinking about a third printing, but then we thought: instead, why not do it all new and all better?
So that's what we've done. The format is similar to the original: an envelope with twenty-eight loose-leaf prints good enough to frame, including a hard-to-describe four-way four-parter (four drawings that fit together to make one really large one. The clever/tricky thing is that any of the four connects to any of the other, and in any configuration: four-square, a vertical stack, all horizontal, an L, etc. Any Tetris shape.); plus a scrapbook; plus an insert card; plus an over-sized fold-out poster. The artwork is entirely new, the scrapbook is new, the envelope has been redesigned — it's a whole new thing, in a beloved familiar shape. Get one for yourself, one for a friend, and three for your unborn, helpless grandchildren — they'll thank you someday.”
As with the Berlin Series, there are randomly placed original drawings by the Artist inside the pamphlet that accompanies the book of prints. If you are lucky enough to get one, they are instantly worth more than $5,000, if not more, depending on the drawing. You should ONLY buy SEALED COPIES of this title, as if the Seller doesn't state it is SEALED, it could be searched. All our offerings are SEALED.
This is a SEALED softcover title in AS NEW condition with pictorial wraps, also including an envelope with 28 prints and a large fold-out poster. It contains 32 pages, illustrated in color throughout, and measures 12 x 9.25 inches.
