"Kaddish," by Christian Boltanski, published by Gina Kehayoff Verlag, 1998, hardcover with pictorial boards, 10.75" by 9". Monumental book, conceived as a catalog of humanity, with nearly 1,200 appropriated photos - family snapshots, anonymous portraits, yearbook and photo album images, newspaper photos, images of schoolchildren, soldiers, concentration camp and crime victims, couples. Staggering in scope, with a palpable sense both of loss and of consecration. Out of print. In excellent condition save for a few faint rubbing marks to the black inset on front cover.
Buyer to pay for item plus shipping.
