The Complete Arion Press Collection, 1975 – 2010

 

88 Limited Editions Featuring Original Artwork from Willem de Kooning, Jim Dine, Jasper Johns, Robert Motherwell, Richard Diebenkorn, Wayne Thiebaud and Sol LeWitt

 

Since its inception in 1974, the Arion Press has published 88 deluxe limited editions that are breathtaking in their scope and artistry. Combining notable literature illustrated with original artwork from prominent artists, Andrew Hoyem and his team at the Arion Press have carried on the tradition of the livre d’artiste in spectacular fashion. Michael Kimmelman of the New York Times put it best when he wrote, "The Arion Press produces some of the most beautiful limited-edition, hand printed books in the world."

The Complete Arion Press Collection

 

Included in this collection are the following premium editions:

 

The Holy Bible bound in full goatskin with illuminated letters.

 

Journey Round My Room with the box with portholes that allow the viewer to look inside. Light through the ceiling of the box illumines walls and floors of an abstract apartment that serves as the lid to the tray holding the book. It is an architectural model that might be called “the second story”.  

 

Trout Fishing in America with a color lithograph by Wayne Thiebaud bound in.

 

The Great Gatsby Deluxe Edition in a green cloth box with lid recessed for cast sculptural relief, designed by Michael Graves, of a three-dimensional site plan of the Gatsby estate, containing a limitation sheet, the book, and two matted original drawings for the book, signed by the artist.
