4.A.D. / VAUGHAN OLIVER This Rimy River (Amazing 2004 UK Limited Special Edition Los Angeles exhibition catalogue for the work of Vaughn Oliver held in 1994. This fantastic folio is 12½" x 16", bound in PLEXIGLASS & then housed in an outervelvet picture slipcase. The whole edition is crafted to the very highest standards of manufacture & is stictly limited to 400 copies only - a mini masterpiece!)

Vaughan Oliver is one of the most powerful and explosive graphic designers of our time. His work with v23 & 4AD is legendary.
This Rimy River is a catalog of an exhibition held at the Pacific Design Center in Los Angeles in 1994. Long out of print, it has been sought after by designers and collectors who have followed the work of v23. Most admired for his collaborative energy and imagination, Oliver set the stage for a graphic revolution in the eighties and nineties. His impact was left on the post-punk music industry and influenced a generation of designers exploring the possibilities of type and print.
Limited to just 400 copies, this superb special edition of the Los Angeles exhibition catalogue uses the regular edition as its starting point but incorporates massive changes to create an individual piece.
The original page artwork has been overprinted with two new layers :- The first layer, in black, uses enlarged details of archive artwork which nearly totally obscures the existing illustrations and text. This in turn is then overlaid with one large word per page, running bottom to top, in a translucent bronze ink.
The words are an extract from Victoria Mitchell's poem "Dearest Vaya con Dios Darling", which inspired the exhibition's title "This Rimy River". The result is more painting than book.
Another piece of fantastic artwork to add to his already impressive portfolio. The whole item is finished with end papers that incorporate snapshots of the L.A. show, bound in a patterned plexiglass hardcover and housed in a luxurious velvet outer slipcase box.
A fantastic item which is number 237 of 400 more...
