A Book Without A Title

The basis of this artist's book is a ready-made book that was published in the city of Leipzig in 1893. The book is written in Gothic letters. It came from Germany to Argentina during the Nazi persecution, and was bought there by my relative Eva Levy in a store called "Pigmalion". It came to Israel through my uncles, from my grandfather's library.

I paint on it with watercolors and ink and produce stains that, through closing and opening the book when the stain is still wet, are unique shapes for each double spread. The pages are very fragile. I taped many of them with magic tape to keep them. The pastings become part of the work of the book.
