Summary
  • Each volume contains a single pop-up construction of die-cut colored paper, mounted inside paper-covered boards. "All pop-ups designed and engineered by Tauba Auerbach. Production coordination by Garrick Gott and the Production Department"--Colophon card.
  • "For this special project, Auerbach has created an oversized pop-up book featuring six die-cut paper sculptures ... Engineered by the artist, each 'page' opens into ... [an] object ... conceived so that the large-scale paper works--some up to 18" tall--collapse totally flat when closed. In [2,3], the six sculptures take their cue from a range of geometric forms--the pyramid, sphere, ziggurat, octagonal bipyramid (gem), arc, and möbius-strip ... Each folio of [2,3] measures 20" x 30" when open. The six volumes [are] housed in a specially designed slipcase, and published in an edition of 1,000"--Publisher's Web site
