Description from the seller
Published on the occasion of Roni Horn's major exhibition at the Fundació Joan Miró in 2014, this beautifully produced catalogue offers an immersive journey into the work of one of the most influential contemporary artists of our time. Created following her receipt of the Joan Miró Prize, the publication reflects the remarkable breadth of Horn's artistic practice, bringing together sculpture, photography, drawing, installation, and language within a single, carefully orchestrated volume.
Rather than functioning as a conventional exhibition catalogue, the book mirrors the conceptual richness of Horn's work. Images unfold with quiet precision, allowing each project to resonate through subtle visual relationships and generous pacing. Throughout its pages, photography exists not as documentation alone, but as an essential component of an artistic language in which identity, memory, perception, landscape, and the passing of time are constantly questioned.
One of the defining qualities of the publication is its extraordinary balance between image and text. Reproductions of Horn's works are accompanied by an extended conversation with Julie Ault, offering rare insight into the artist's creative process, intellectual influences, and lifelong engagement with literature, nature, and human presence. This dialogue transforms the catalogue into a lasting reference for understanding the complexity and coherence of Horn's practice.
Elegantly designed and produced to the highest museum standards, the volume reflects the same restraint and refinement that characterise Horn's art. Large-format reproductions, thoughtful sequencing, and exceptional printing quality allow readers to experience the exhibition long after its conclusion, while preserving the contemplative atmosphere that defines her installations.
More than an exhibition catalogue, this publication stands as a significant artist's book in its own right. It captures a pivotal moment in Roni Horn's career while celebrating an oeuvre that continually challenges the boundaries between photography, sculpture, language, and perception. For readers interested in contemporary art, museum publications, and outstanding Photography Books, it remains an essential addition to any serious library.
Seller's Story
Dartbooks is a specialized photography bookshop based in Barcelona, dedicated to photobooks, rare and out-of-print editions, and historically significant publications. With a strong focus on Japanese photography, Dartbooks was founded to provide continuity to a field that requires depth, expertise, and careful curation.
The bookshop was established after the closure of Kowasa, a landmark reference for photography books in Spain. Its disappearance left a clear gap for photographers, collectors, and institutions in need of a space with a serious and knowledgeable approach to the photobook. Dartbooks emerged in response to that need, not as a replacement, but as part of the natural evolution of a cultural ecosystem.
Dartbooks operates with a curatorial mindset, shaped by long-term engagement with photography and book collecting. The project functions as a book hunting platform for collectors, professionals, and libraries worldwide, and also provides advisory support to other bookshops seeking to develop coherent and specialized photography collections.
The catalogue includes new publications, rare and out-of-print titles, monographs, retrospectives, self-published works, signed copies, and editions produced directly by photographers through their own imprints. The selection reflects a sustained commitment to photography as a form of visual narration, where images construct meaning beyond text.
Although rooted in the Gràcia neighbourhood of Barcelona, Dartbooks serves an international audience. Its community includes collectors, professionals, and institutions from France, the United Kingdom, Japan, and beyond, both through the physical space and the online platform.
Dartbooks understands the photobook not merely as an object of consumption, but as a cultural artifact that documents artistic practices, historical contexts, and personal visions. The bookshop functions simultaneously as a place of discovery, an archive in constant growth, and a point of connection between photographers, publishers, and readers.
