aim Steinbach, of course, is a man of many shelves as well as one of the first artists to work with onestar press, so he seemed like a natural choice to design a display unit for us.
Still, we couldn’t be more delighted or surprised by the result - Haim’s always pitch-perfect sensibility has taken the universal Duchampian aesthetic to a whole new level. All of Haim’s preoccupations with framing, juxtaposition, history and our perception of time are brought to bear here in a way that fires up the brain cells while giving a good retinal twist to one of the 20th century’s greatest art icons - so wrap your mind as well as your eyes around Haim Steinbach’s “shelf” piece for onestar press. What artist’s book collection wouldn’t be honored to become a Steinbachian object?
