Binding—"Fire-colored" Oasen goatskin leather binding, signed: "U. Widmann · 2016," with sand appliqués. — Contents: Rainer Maria Rilke. The Book of Hours. Containing the three books: On Monastic Life · On Pilgrimage · On Poverty and Death. Frankfurt and Leipzig, Insel 2008. Call time: approx. 1:22 p.m. (schedule subject to change) An extraordinary and artistically impressive bookbinding work by MDE member Ulrich Widmann, Freiburg, with his signature on the inside back cover. - The one-of-a-kind binding captivates with its coloring and texture. - Full French binding, burgundy-red Oasen goatskin; both covers were modeled with sand (mixed with adhesive and applied), painted, and textured. - Dated edges. - Presented in a matching linen slipcase. - Ulrich Widmann on his binding: “The design was inspired by the sensation and abstract perception of the emotions evoked by the Book of Hours. The tactile experience of touching the surface is also part of it. In its metaphysical meaning, this conveys the eternal cycle of life and death; it transforms time and infinity.” 28.5 × 19.0 cm. 160, [4] pages, 4 plates.
